Does anyone take Tylenol Pm to help them sleep?

moneymommy @moneymommy (3418) • United States 6 Feb 09

Does this help you fall asleep? I don't really need a sleeping aid but once in awhile I might. Have you taken Tylenol PM and found that it helped you sleep? Did you ever take a generic and if so was there any difference?
