Beware of Ambien, it is addictive. Tylenol PM, or any "PM" labeled drug, has a coating that is the generic Benedryl- diphenhydramine HCL. I react well to a couple of generic Benedryl ("Allergy Medicine" at Costco) if I really can't drift off. If you need to change your cycle, it takes a little time. You need to set a routine. Go to bed at the same time every time, whether you are tired or not. Take some melatonin, as this helps reset your circadian rhythm. Make the room as dark as possible- heavy shades that really block the light. Get up at the same time everyday, even if you have to stay in bed awake for an hour. Don't use your bedroom for anything other than sleep- No TV, no reading in bed or any other distractions if possible. Eventually your clock will reset.
