Nytol
Has anybody found this actually to work? I remember taking it many years ago and found that I couldn't sleep all night.
After finding it difficult to sleep last night I thought I would give it another go, thinking the first time must have been a fluke.
The result is why I'm now sitting here with the computer on and typing; when I was lying in bed, my legs felt as if they wanted to go on a five mile run.

I bite it in half and take with water, about half an hour later I have a mug of warm milk, about an hour later I'm asleep.
Btw I don't take it every night, just maybe once a week if I really need to get some sleep, also someone told me I shouldn't have the warm milk after, but it relaxes me.
It's the same ingredient in Nytol as in Asda Sleep Aid. There is also herbal Nytol in a green packet though which is something different.
Yes, both the pharmaceutical and herbal Nytols are no good. Another easily available over the counter sleep aid, Sominex, is better.
Nytol is terrible if it makes you sleep you feel crap in the morning
I haven't tried sominex or night nurse. Might give them a try.
No. Nytol is an antihistamine, it's really not a very powerful drug. Sure it might work on some people, particularly those that want it to work, but for serious insomnia you seed something sedating.
You really can't get addicted to antihistamines in any sort of meaningful way.
Yes, Kirkland Sleep Aid is also very effective but it does have to be imported from the USA.
I used to find that I felt a bit dulled when I woke up, but not in an unpleasant way. I wouldn't have felt inclined to go on to perform delicate cataract operations or intricate brain surgery, but it was certainly a huge relief on those two or three occasions a year when I just can't get to sleep.
I know of somebody who swears by Night Nurse for emergency oblivion when afflicted by a terrible cold, although he tends to drink the entire bottle.
Nytol herbal (for me) were worse than useless and made me feel really queasy all night.
Like mentioned above, I have found Asda Sleep Aid tablets worth trying. At only £1.35 a pack of 20 (2 recommended a night, though sometimes 1 is enough) they're cheap enough to try.
went to the doctor and got some zopiclone and they done wonders for a while until i built tolerance to them.
went back to the doctors and he prescribed Temazepam and they were the best by far take a tab half an hour before wanting to go to bed and before I knew it i was out for the count.
Also use them the first couple of nights of a holiday
Edit - I use the one-a-night and sometimes half is enough. The herbal kept me awake and made me pee about 25 times. Also it doesn't feel like real sleep and I don't feel great for an hour after waking up, but it's better than not sleeping a wink
