I took a sleeping pill last night. I don't like to take them, but every now and then I go so many nights sleeping badly, that I have to. These pills generally don't work well for me, and not more than one night, two max. Someone suggested I try one of the Motrin or Tylenol PM's, they work as well, but for me, no go. The one I have found lately does work once, as long as I don't use it often, but the thing I really hate about these pills is once in a while there are side effects. I have never stayed in bed so late as I did this morning. I just couldn't get moving. I even got up once, ate breakfast, but had to return to bed. Once I was finally up, I stayed lethargic and had no motivation to do anything. In the afternoon, I needed a nap. FINALLY, about 4 PM the effects wore off and I got the energy and motivation to get moving and get some things done. I'm afraid now that I won't sleep well tonight since I was so tired all day, but it's 10 PM and I'm yawning and getting sleepy. I have to go now, the puppy wants to go outside before bed and I am going to try to sleep while I feel that I can. Good-night All
