Anyone take Simply Sleep?
From time to time, maybe once or twice a month, I'll take a simply sleep to help me fall off if I have a lot on my mind. It is non-habit forming and my doc recommended it after Kenneth was hurt when I was all over the place. Even then, I still only needed it rarely -- it is made by Tylenol if I remember correctly and sold over the counter in most drug stores - like a tylenol with a drousy effect.
Anywho, does anyone else take this? When you do - do you notice that you have very weird and vivid dreams during that night? I've only taken it a handful of times in the last six months but every time I noticed that I have a bizarre and vivid dream - I'm wondering if this is just a coincidence or if others noticed this too. Also, does this mean I shouldn't be taking it? Is it a bad sign?
TIA!

Re: Anyone take Simply Sleep?
I take it!
I'm a horrible sleeper. No, I can't say that my dreams are any more vivid.
Taking this pill has helped me so much. I would get up everynight for hours. Now i sleep thru the night.

Re: Anyone take Simply Sleep?
I have taken Advil PM- which is basically the same thing- except simply sleep doesn't have the pain medicine in it (Advil, tylenol, etc). I'm not good at all with drugs of any kind- so I usually take a half a dose- one pill instead of the two the box says to take. Even at the half dose it helps me sleep soundly. I know if I took the 2 I'd probably have problems getting up the next morning. (It's hard enough for me to get up to begin with! )
I don't notice any more odd dreams than normal (I have odd dreams all the time regardless if I take anything!) but again- I'm taking a 1/2 dose.
I don't think this is anything bad or that you should stop taking it... I found out that what it actually is that makes you sleep in these things- is an antihistimine- like benadryl or dimetapp. Those drugs make you drowsy- and that is really all this stuff is too- hence why its not habit forming....

I used to take tylenol pm so often that I built up a tolerance to it and I don't remember ever having vivid dreams. Simply sleep is the same thing as Tylenol PM just without the tylenol.

Re: Anyone take Simply Sleep?
I take it often (by often, I mean I use it like you do - at least twice a month, though thankfully in the past couple of months I haven't needed it). I'm not surprised to hear that your dreams were wild or vivid. Though I haven't had this experience with Simply Sleep, I have had it with another sedative (it was prescription). I took that sedative one time and the dream was so freaky, I never took any more of them. I think vivid/freaky dreams can be a side effect of some, if not all, sedatives.

Re: Anyone take Simply Sleep?
I've taken it. I haven't taken it in a while though. I took it at least once a week after my mom got transplanted, I couldn't sleep with all the stress.
I had the craziest dreams ever! A few were so vivid that when I woke up I wasn't sure if they had actually happened
I think its normal. I get them if I take anything that makes me drowsy, usually.

Re: Anyone take Simply Sleep?
I take it sometimes when my mind is racing and I know I need to fall asleep and get to sleep for the night. I can't say I've noticed any strange dreams though... It's probably just that your getting more deep sleep and thus dreaming more, as opposed to not sleeping well and being awake a lot.

Re: Anyone take Simply Sleep?
I love that stuff!! One helps me stay asleep if I've been having a few bad nights in a row. It's also great for long flights!

Re: Anyone take Simply Sleep?
I have taken it and Advil PM and I have had the strangest dreams almost every time. They seem so real and it is the only time I remember my dreams.

Re: Anyone take Simply Sleep?
Simply Sleep is the same exact thing as benadryl. I know this is a little off topic, but I wonder how much more expensive this is than buying benadryl is?
