Like so many other people, I occasionally struggle with sleeplessness. Often times it’s when I have had a bad day or am particularly anxious, but sometimes I just can’t seem to fall asleep even when I’m happy. In high school, I just wound up staying up late and then turning around and getting up early and being exhausted. Then my sleep schedule would get so messed up because I’d come home and sleep as soon as I got home from school, and then wake up at 3am for the day and be tired by the time I got out of school the next day. It was a mess.

As an adult, I finally gave in and started occasionally taking over the counter medication when I can’t sleep. I’ve found that its easier to just put up with taking the medication instead of having to be exhausted and mess up my sleep schedule.

ZzzQuil is a liquid over the counter sleep aid for occasional sleeplessness that is made by the same people who make NyQuil, except it doesn’t have ingredients for helping you get over the cold, flu, etc. It’s only purpose is to aid in getting some sleep.

I’ll be honest – I had never taken a liquid sleep aid before. In fact, I don’t think I had taken any liquid medication since I was about 10. So I was a bit nervous that I would handle the flavor very well. I can’t say it was good, but it was definitely drinkable. It comes with a measuring cup so you don’t have to worry if you don’t have one on hand. However, if you prefer to avoid liquid medication it does come in capsule form as well.

I got distracted online and someone stopped over so I wound up chatting for about two hours after I took the medication and then when I laid down, it still took me about 20 minutes to fall asleep which surprised me. However, once I was asleep I slept really well. I woke up about 9 hours later and didn’t remember waking up at all in between. Every night, I wake up at least twice to roll over or fix my blankets or pillow, etc so not waking up at all was really nice.
