Sleep Aids in general

Insomnia? It?s no fun, is it? Only last night I was up until almost two o?clock as I just couldn?t sleep, and as I?ve tried some bizarre methods to get some shut eye in the past, I thought I probably ought to write an opinion on the subject. Of course, most people will have heard the old chestnut that counting sheep will send you to sleep, but believe me, it just aint true. Counting those fluffy little bodies (mine are usually jumping in and out of a sheep pen) takes far too much effort and concentration, resulting in your mind being far too active for sleep?

Recently I have not been sleeping very well. I don?t know what the reason is but I have put it down to coming off medication. I have tried hot baths and milky drinks before bed but these have not worked. Even drinking before bed didn?t work. I had enough and decided to take a trip to the chemist for some sleeping tablets. When I got there I asked for some Nytol. I had the choice between Nytol caplets, Nytol one-a-night and Nytol Herbal. Having taken the ?normal? Nytol caplets I decided to buy the Nytol one-a-night. For anyone who has never taken them before I will explain the difference. Basically Nytol caplets you get 16 caplets and you are advised to take one ...  Read the complete review

I have recently been finding myself kept awake a lot at night – and not in a good way, either. I experience this sort of sleeplessness periodically, when either I cannot get to sleep in the first place (“have I really been lying here for the past two hours?”) or I sleep like a baby (waking up several times during the night and finding it hard to get back to sleep again). During such times I have tried many remedies to help me get the full night’s sleep I so desperately need. First came the “traditional” methods: hot bath, milky drink and going to bed at the same time every night. Then came the ...  Read the complete review

Well I started to write an opinion on sleep which took me 30 minutes pressed the wrong button and it disappeared if anyone knows how to retrieve it I would be grateful ,I know the computer keeps everything but have forgotten how to access this .Have you ever done this? talk about frustration I will need my sleep tonight to get over such wasted time. To Briefly summarise what I have already written: I slept well as a child,and did not experience Insomnia until I was an adult . My first bout of this was greeted with sleeping Tablets from the Doctor ,which only gave me indigestion. Its best not to try to sleep ,to be warm enough ,not to eat ...  Read the complete review

There is a product available to buy over the counter which is licenced for use in children from 3months and onwards. This product is advertised as a cold remedy and to aid restful sleep. In actual fact, giving a 3month old baby a days dose of this medicine is the equivalent to giving them a full dose of Nytol, which you cant use until you are 16!!!! This product is Medised infant!! Yes - a well known brand used by thousands of people. Medised do actually do another medicine which is licensed from one year plus - this is fine though no nytol in that one ! In the pharmacy in which i work we were so outraged we have taken it off our shelves. Although it is ...  Read the complete review
