Question: Why dont sleep-aid medicines work on me when i am sick ?i've had a cold/flu for the past few days and cant get any sleep. i tried taking over-the-counter sleep aid medications, which normally help me, but to no avail. one of the types of medicines, i usually take only one and i am out for the rest of the night. but, i took 2 of those and dont even get sleepy. i need rest, more than an hour or so here and there, in order to get my strenghth built back up. is it just me or does being sick change the medicines effect on me ?? help soon....
Answer: Well, one of the big reasons is that the illness itself is actually keeping you awake.Sleeping pills only work if your body is able to fall asleep.... they won't work very well in the middle of the day when you're wide awake, or while you're working out and getting energized.If they aren't working for you, then I'd suggest not taking them until you feel better and are able to sleep on your own. If you take them when your body can't use them, your body may develop a tolerance against them, which could lead to an immunity if you kept taking them after that.
