eat a huge dinner then roll over and giggle, lights out! full belly is the best sleep aid for me. if i'm rushed for rest and still can't sleep it's nyquil + earplugs + AC as cold as it goes + all of the blankets

Stop taking unnecessary ibuprofen (Advil PM). Advil & Tylenol contain ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is hard on your liver. You can overdose and create permanent liver damage by exceeding the max recommended dose by just a little bit.
Since you are not needing the pain relief to sleep you should take just the dyphenhydromine, which is the sleep or PM portion of Advil/Tylenol PM.
All of the other common over-the-counter pain relief medicines are pretty safe even if you take multiples of the max safe dose. Ibuprofen creates permanent damage by taking a little more than the max safe dose.
You can get dyphenhydromine is any OTC sleep aid. You can get it as tablet or liguid, liguid works faster. Your body and sleep will become conditioned to both if you take them routinely so be very slow to increase routine dose.nredfor88 and Brettj3876 Thank this. -
