Last night I took a sleeping tablet at 10.30pm...

And my eyelids are practically on my desk! I can't wake up, I just want to put my head in my arms and go back to sleep. I did sleep like a log last night (after two restless nights) so the tablet worked, but how long until it wears off? I feel like I'm in that really relaxed-dozy-not-quite-asleep-but-having-a-lie-in-sleep stage.

I don't even like coffee.

    Was it a prescription tablet or Nytol etc.?

    I have been prescribed Zopiclone before and TBH I was zonked out for most of the next day!

    It was just a Nytol one-a-night, said to take 30 mins before bed etc. I still feel like I'm walking round inside a fluffy could that just wants me to fall back to sleep...

    I don't think I'll 'knock myself out' with one of these the night before the wedding or I'll be a zombie bride!

    I have visions of you acting like the dad in Father of the Bride II when he takes sleeping tablets. ?

    I have never taken sleeping tablets so I can't help, but EF's suggested seems like a good idea.

    I was like the man in Father of the Bride!

    I set some work going and went home again because I was just not 'with it', I drank a pint of water and feel asleep for two solid hours (I can never do this during the day normally). I woke up, had another pint of water, ate some lunch and came back to work. I feel like a have a functioning brain now, still tired, but I can concentrate a lot better.

    If I ever feel the need for a good night's sleep, I'll just take half a tablet!
