How does diphenhydramine work? How long does it take to work? The medicine should work for around 4 to 6 hours. How long can I take it for? Only take diphenhydramine for a short time. Is diphenhydramine addictive?

What's the difference between diphenhydramine and other antihistamines? How is it different to other cough and cold remedies? Can I take it with painkillers?

Can I drive or ride a bike with it? Will it affect my fertility? Back to my own experience, and I think I would take it again for two reasons. Firstly, I believe I slept reaonably well on the majority of the nights I took it. Secondly, I had no side effects that I could tell. And by nothing else, I mean all the usual good sleep habits which should in theory be enough to help me sleep well as long as I stick to them.

After trying the original Nytol Herbal, I decided to test the One-A-Night, which only contains valerian, to find out if it was much different. Note that I tested it quite a long time afterward, not the next day! The first thing I noticed is the improvement in the smell and taste. The previous type had a very strong valerian smell, as I mentioned earlier. The One-A-Night tablets have a coating though, so the smell is hidden away better.

They are larger tablets, but you only take one rather than two or more. Again, I think it did help a little, providing a mild sedative effect.

It never knocked me out as such, but I do think it helped me relax at night. On the whole though, I think I slept reasonably well most nights of the month. The information sheet advised speaking to your doctor if you experience any of these side effects:. On the US Amazon site, Nytol Herbal has a rating of 4 out of 5 at the time of writing, with over customer ratings.

On the UK Amazon site, it currently has a score of 4 out of 5, with over ratings in total. For an over the counter sleep aid sold online, 4 out of 5 stars is a relatively high score assuming you can trust the ratings. Many readers have left comments since I first wrote this review, which has been helpful to read. I have been taking Nytol Herbal One-A-Night for the past 10 nights and finally starting to get good sleep again.

It takes a few nights for it to truly work. How long can you take valerian root for sleep? Is it okay long term? What I would say is from my own research, it seems that many medical sites suggest not taking it for longer than a month without checking in with a doctor. Regards Ethan. I must say that they do not work for me. I tried taking 1, but still no joy. They just keep me awake. Is there anything else that I can do, to try and get a decent nights sleep?

I also recommend reading an article I wrote about how I cope with insomnia. You might find some useful tips there. Long term insomniac here. Most unpleasant and worrying. I also waken with dry eyes and feeling unrested. Hi Grace Thanks for sharing your experience. If it were me, I would not take any more with those side effects — assuming it is the Nytol causing it.

Have you had similar problems with any other sleep aid that has the same ingredients? For the first 2 nights I took 2 tablets and had the best sleep ever, but was drowsy next day so tried one for the next 3 nights.
