DnDn4kidz's Full Review: Simply Sleep Caplets 100 Caplets
I have used Tylenol PM occasionally for years. With working a night shift for so many years, and having to try to sleep during the daytime with my husband trying to keep kids quiet('nuff said about that!), Tylenol PM was a Godsend.
Since I quit working, I still go through periods of time where I am unable to get a good nights sleep because I'm stressed over something(such as my sons upcoming surgery). I get tired of tossing and turning all night, waking up every hour or two, and feeling just as tired when I wake up in the morning as I did before I went to bed. Typically, after several nights of this, I will take a couple of Tylenol PM tablets so I can have one night of restful sleep.
I had heard about Tylenol Simply Sleep from a television commercial. I thought this product sounded like a good idea, because there are some times that I have taken Tylenol PM, but that I didn't really need the acetaminophen in the product. I went to the Tylenol website(http://www.tylenol.com/index.htm) and requested a sample of Simply Sleep.
As with Tylenol PM, Simply Sleep is (supposedly) non-habit forming. Simply Sleep is recommended for use as an occasional sleep aid, and is not recommended for use while driving(duh), and drinking alcoholic beverages is also not recommended when using this product.
Simply Sleep contains no acetaminophen. The main ingredient in Simply Sleep is diphenhydramine(25mg). Diphenhydramine is an antihistamine that causes a sedating effect, as with other antihistamine products such as Benadryl.
Simply Sleep helped me get a good, sound night's sleep. The only problem I had with this product was that I still felt a little groggy the next day. The effects of this product are supposed to last 4-6 hours, but I was still 'dragging' the first half of the next day. Other diphenhydramine containing products give me this same effect.
I would recommend Simply Sleep to anyone who is suffering from sleep loss(without an underlying serious medical reason for such). If you experience drowsiness the next day with other antihistamine containing products, you may have the same side effects from this product. You should consult a physician before taking any medication if you have any existing medical conditions. Using this product for longer than a two week period is not recommended. All the common sense, same advice goes *here* as with using any over the counter medications. (For complete listing of product information and usage, consult your physician, the Tylenol website,http://www.tylenol.com/index.htm, or the product itself.)
