In University I developed a nasty habit for Nyquil. Roommates being loud but have to sleep?...take some Nyquil. Study until 3 after drinking 3 coffees?...drink some Nyquil.
I became hooked on the stuff...couldn't sleep without it. To the point of like a drug addict I was hiding it around the house.
I finally stopped and started working out more, changing my lifestyle and taking Melatonin. I don't get the same symptoms that some of you have described, with the jitters. I find that it tends to put me out.
I will still take Nyquil the odd time (more if I have something associated like a cold or a bad bad headache, but those days are becoming few are far between)
I've often wondered the damage or long-term effects of taking something for sleep...but at the same time, you hear about those who do not get enough sleep, also put themselves at a health risk.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
