I am going to a concert with a bunch of friends and we’re all sharing a hotel room, I have SERIOUS and weird issues about being able to fall asleep with people in the room (even family members) the only person I can sleep with is my fiance, strange I know. I just lie awake and jump at every noise. If I’m in a room alone or alone with my fiance I can sleep perfectly fine and have no sleep issues.

Anyway, I do want to at least try to sleep, because the next day I’ll have a 4 hour drive, so what would work best? I have Vicodin or over the counter sleeping meds :/

vicodin should be fine. If not vicodin then try benedryl or tylenol PM. I take either 2 benedril or 3 tylenol PM almost every night and it works like a charm.

good luck babygirl!!

Vicodin is not a sleep aid. It makes you sleep, but it’s not a restful sleep. It actually causes a decrease in REM sleep. (Same with alcohol.)

I would try the OTC sleep aid, like diphenhydramine.

If you have to get up fairly early you’re gonna want to stick with something over-the-counter. If you’re not planning on waking up until 11 or so, just go with the vicodin and drink an energy drink in the morning.
