Cos I think I might get some tomorrow but they are more expensive than the others and wondered do they really work?

sleep

I'm not a medical expert, but for me, I would choose an over-the-counter sleep aid over Nytol. I believe the liquid form contains alcohol, which can actually have the opposite reaction several hours after you take it.

ok thanks

do you recomend anything?

I used to take Unisom. It's in tablet form and is scored in the middle so you can cut it in half. I would recommend starting with half. They help you fall asleep, but may not necessarily KEEP you asleep.

I don't take them anymore cuz they started either making me really groggy the next day or giving me a headache. I could probably take 1/4 but I'm fine with just letting things be the way they are, it's a little weird but nobody's complaining, so far.

... Good luck.

I like Simply Sleep. It contains no pain medicine, just stuff to help you sleep.
You can find it at the drugstore.
