    I'm an 84 year old man who sleeps well. I stay up until 2 or 3 AM but go to sleep listening to my wife's iPod with the timer set for an hour. That's enough time to play two stories from Old Time Radio stories. We like Nero Wolfe, Box 13, Yours Truly - Johnny Dollar, etc. I think it works in the same way as when parents talk to their little kids or read them a story while putting them to bed at night or sing them a lullaby.

    Here's how a conversation with a doctor in Australia goes down about sleep aids.
    Patient: Hi doc, I work shift work and I just can't get to sleep. Its two days now and I'm awake for 20 hours a day.
    Doctor: Have you tried diet and exercise?
    Patient: Yes.
    Doctor: (Starts printing 50 pages) here is some stretching guides, nutritional information and 20 pages on putting phones away before bed.
    Patient: I dont use social media mate.
    Doctor: Let's get you on some anti depressants which over time will fix everything.

    Good I just started using sleeping aid to help me get my sleep rhythm back on track. I'm a big 6'4 270 lb guy. I decided to try melatonin, store brand zzzz liquid stuff, and valerian. Seems like the most effective combo for me has been both the liquid zzzz and 10 mg of melatonin. I started to yawn an hour later even while being on the computer getting stimulated by the electrical devices. I don't know what caused my sleep to shift but I hope to get back on track. I also sip on chamomile tea.

    Many comments are pointing out the fact that the question in the title was not answered and they are right. Doctors and even specialists are not trained to know how drugs work. Thats the job of pharmacists. If they had invited a pharmacist on the show it would have been a much more informative segment. But pharmacists are not held in high regard amongst healthcare professionals even though they are specialists in medicine.

    I have swimmers ear and for the pain at night, I take the Equate Nite time Severe. The pain is so bad that nothing else helps the pain. Got meds today for it. The sleep aide I usually take is a cup of chamomile tea. But with pain going on, I needed a night time sleep especially when I keep waking up every half hour due to it. I wrote all of this because the guy just walked around the question and didnt answer the question. Sad. But, if you need to sleep tonight, drink a cup of chamomile soothing and calming tea. Celestial is the brand I use.

If you take Tylenol PM take four of them it'll take about an hour to an hour and 30 minutes to kick in but make sure you're laying down relaxing watching TV so that you can fall asleep otherwise you'll stay up through it guaranteed!

Also could be from maybe eat late at night maybe need more healthy diet? Try training your body to have a set schedule for when u sleep. I've notice have my body use to going sleep certain time u get tired naturally. Or maybe have scented candles that promote sleep maybe listen to peaceful music white noise of maybe sound of rain to relax your body.

      I attempted suicide. I overdosed on them last January. I took a whole bottle containing 93. My roommate found me laying face down having a seizure and called 911. After I got out of the hospital I was even more depressed. I was taking my prescription pills with alcohol and that made everything worse and I stopped drinking. After I ran out of my prescription pills I started taking sleeping pills. I took over maybe 20 the first night. I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and I couldn’t walk at all. I had to crawl there and back and kept hitting the wall because I couldn’t see. I eventually got into bed fell asleep and woke up super super drowsy. I was so surprised I was able to drive to work and function. When I got home, I went straight into my room and slept til I had to go to work the next morning. I decided to be done with sleeping pills and I stopped taking them for maybe a few weeks. I found one on the floor took it and for some reason really liked that drowsy feeling and that’s when I started taking them and continued.
      I’ve had a few nights last year where I would stop breathing in my sleep and I would have to force myself to wake up. If I take to much to where I can’t handle it I throw it up and there’s blood when I do it. A lot. When I feel confident that I won’t die in 2 seconds I’ll take more just to fall back to sleep. I tried to stop taking them completely and that night withdrawals off the ass and I had to take more just for it to stop.
      I’m pretty sure I made myself 100x worse just by continuing to take them. I cry all the time, I have panic attacks which I’ve never had before this. What I did last January is all I think about. There’s not second in a day I don’t think about it. I’m trying to get through it the best I can. People in my life make it better and make me happy but I’m honesty not better if I can’t get over what’s killing me inside that literally almost killed me in the first place. My grandmas death in 2008 and my mom leaving me and my siblings after parents divorce and then disappearing back and forth to vegas. Trying so hard to forgive her after like 7 years. She now has cancer in her liver and supposedly has to have a liver transplant and now all I want to do is forgive her. If she dies and I haven’t forgave her I don’t know what will happen to me.
      But I’m very sorry about your brother. 😢😫

    I took like 25-30 Top Care Sleeping Aid pills one night and a few hours later I was getting sharp shocks or jolts from my chest through my entire body every few minutes. It was pretty scary. I'm glad that went away I won't try that again lol

      I attempted suicide on Top Care brand twice. All bad. I almost lost my life, the last time I took nearly 200 pills. I'm thankful to be alive and realize that can NEVER happen again.

      wow 200 pills the most I have taken was like 80 but that was like Advil PM I think and it didn't do anything to me. I can't imagine the top care overdose because that was scary. I'm glad you are alive. The reason I want to die is mostly cause I miss my mom and I want to know 100% that she is in heaven and there is an afterlife and ofcourse I would hope if there is god would forgive me and understand. Also, I am in debt have no friends or anyone to do anything with and kinda sucks eating PB & J all the time.

    After being financially raped by doctors, hospitals and insurance companies trying to find out why I only sleep 3-4 hour a day, I had to turn to Nyquil. One dose at night is only 500 mg and the bottle says I can take 4 doses in a 24 hour period. Our "healthcare" system in America is the problem. One has to nearly go bankrupt to figure out a medical problem.
