Question by sweetblubrry: Is it okay that I took sleeping pills at night and had an energy drink the next AM?
I’ve done this a few times. I have a REALLY hard time falling asleep and I either took benadryl, advil pm, or simply sleep to help fall asleep around 12 or 1am. I had to get up at 6 for work and drink a red bull on the way to work. Is that spaced out enough to where it would be okay? I would never take sleeping pills at the same time as an energy drink.
Thanks! I talked to a pharmacist and she said it was okay, but since its not 8 hours may make me a little confused or jittery. She said I should stop napping and cut out the sleeping pills and I should be fine.

It sounds OK to me. If you still have doubts, call any pharmacist. They are so smart and helpful.
For sleeping try either Melatonin. It’s a vitamin which is so much safer than Advil Pm or benedryl. Those are addictive. 3Mgs of Melatonin should knock you out!
Also, don’t forget about warm milk. It really does help millions of people, You can add honey to taste.
Bless you and good luck! If you’re an adult, a doctor can give you a prescription for Ambien CR, Lunesta, or Rozerem. :)
