Wide Awake Night Time Medicine By ange on Dec 20, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

Tylenol Cold is what we always seem to have around the house. I think it's effective as far as taking care of and some what controlling the cold symptoms. The night time kind i ssomething that I stopped taking.

Being a night time mediceine, it should quite obviously knock you out or at least help you fall asleep a little easier. If I take it within about five hours of going to bed, there's no chance of shut eye.

I thought maybe at first it was just a bad night, but every time I try it it's the same thing. So then I just thought for some reason it effected me in this way, but then my dad said it did the same thing for him.

You are already drowsy when you have a cold, so being tired as all get out and not being able to sleep is not a good experience. Tylenol cold it helpful, but not good for a nights rest.
