I’m a Day/Night Nurse user - it does help me sleep, although I’m not sure it does much for my cold - I’m on week three, from tomorrow.
I tried Nytol - only once as DH had to stay on watch all night as I had the ‘screaming habdabs’ and was trying to get out of the window!

I only took night nurse once, it made me hallucinate. Very scary! Never again!

Recently took it for a persistent cough and slept soundly.

A close family member uses night nurse for this very purpose.

I can’t take it as it has pseudoephedrine, not permitted if you tend towards high bp.

I don’t do sleeping pills - I had some prescribed after Paw died but abandoned them after two days because I just felt zonked.
However last night I simply couldn’t settle and was still awake in the early hours. Round about 4 I looked out a bottle of Night Nurse left over from flu and necked 5 ml - no more!
I slept until after 8 (!) let Rosie out, took a mug of tea back to bed with me and promptly fell asleep again until 11 !! I tried to sit up to read but couldn’t hold my iPad which slipped off the bed and all I wanted to do was lie flat.
Whouda thought something you can buy over the counter could have such a dramatic effect.
Who needs drugs ?
