Wanna read about a personal experience on over-the-counter sleep aids?

Do you wanna know more about other people's experiences with over-the-counter sleep aids? Are you curious about what sleep aids they used and how well it helped them get to sleep? Do you wanna know if they experienced any side effects of these OCT sleep aids the way you did? If yes, then read on the article below entitled To Sleep: Perchance to Take Lots of Pills by Seth Stevenson. I learned a lot from his article. I hope you'll get to read it too. Here are some parts from one of his personal stories.

"Can sleep aids beat it? On a recent trip to Japan, I arrived in Tokyo in the afternoon, then needed to get a good night's sleep (despite a 14-hour time difference) and wake up for a 9 a.m. meeting. Basically, an impossible task. I took a Unisom Maximum Strength SleepGel (50 mg of diphenhydramine hydrochloride) in Tokyo at 11 p.m., when it felt like midafternoon for me, and it actually worked OK. I managed to stay asleep until 6:30 a.m., which was better than I'd hoped for, and I made it through the day. Thanks, Unisom!
The next night, still wickedly lagged, I took two Simply Sleep caplets (together, another 50 mg of diphenhydramine hydrochloride—same as the Unisom), but only managed to sleep until 5:45 a.m. I blame it on the sheer momentum of jet lag, not the pills.
On the third night, as a control, I took no pills and woke up at 4:30 a.m. Unacceptable. So I took two Simply Sleep caplets and managed to sleep until 9:30 a.m. Perfect. Except I should have taken one caplet—I might have avoided the severe grog that plagued me all day and made interaction with Japanese people an even greater effort.
Conclusion: These pills are not a bad way to deal with jet lag, in an emergency. Also, there's no chemical difference between Unisom Maximum Strength SleepGels and Simply Sleep, yet there are two important distinctions. 1) Unisom's "gel" is much nicer going down—the Simply Sleep actually caught in my throat half-dissolved and tasted so bad that I gagged. 2) You can't split Unisom Maximum Strength's dose—it's one gel that can't be cut in half—while Simply Sleep's two caplets give you more flexibility for a half-dose (25 mg) if you're scared of feeling out-of-it when you wake up."
