The myths about sleep are still believed by many, and maybe one of them is you
Tylenol PM (a type of anti-allergy drug such as CTM) is better than other prescription sleeping drugs for rare imsomnia attacks
No, if the attack lasts longer than a few nights, the active ingredient in Tylenol PM is an anti-allergy drug, and as a side effect is you will be sleepy. Some people report a feeling of "dependence" after taking anti-allergic drugs compared to other prescribed sleeping pills. If you decide to use an anti-allergy medication, do not eat it in the middle of the night, because the drug remains active in your system for eight hours or more, so your work can be disrupted tomorrow. Another difference is that prescription sleep medication is made to allow you to go through all the steps in the sleeping circulation. It is not known whether anti-allergic drugs can have the same effect.
