Side effects of sleeping pills?

I've seriously messed up my circadian rhythm and I have an extremely hard time falling asleep before 5am (only to wake up again at 9 for class) in the last few days. I have some samples of "Simply Sleep" by the makers of Tylenol and I want to start taking it.

Are there any side effects of taking these often? Like 3 times per week for example.

And will I get my REM sleep when I take them?

ehhh every other week doesnt hurt😉
says dont take it for more than a week. So i take a week break😉
 
If I use them I sleep like a log but I'm even more tired when I wake up, I don't feel at all rested. I'd rather have a little alcohol.
 
I've used most of them, never can get to sleep right from about the time I was 16...


THe worst I've had is bad cottonmouth while waiting to sleep, but I've also had the zombie effect afterwards..


Give the herbal Melatonin a try, that I found does a really good job..

Diarrhea, aching stomach, headache, nausea, and in absolute worst case, death.

These drugs are known to the state of California to cause death in sleeping rats and other rodents.
 
When I take my sleeping pills (admittedly prescription-strength) I have these really odd dreams that make no sense. A lot of times you have this sort of "hangover" where you'll be in between awake and asleep, dreaming even though you're mildly conscious. Like I said, though, these are prescription strength, so you may not have that with OTC pills, but it's something to keep in mind.
