Zzzqyuil, from the makers of nyquil?
« on: 14 February 2013, 12:00:19 »

 I am just wondering if anyone has tried their new product that is meant to help get you to sleep, much like nyquil knocks people out when they are sick, but without the cough medicine. Yes, ignoring the jokes about using your favorite drink to knock you out,  has anyone actually tried this stuff? If so, what do you think?

Tried it. It's Nyquil without the medicine- and it works just as well at knocking you out cold. Be REALLY careful taking it- I took a half-dose, sat down on the couch to take my socks off, and literally woke up nine hours later with a sock still on.

I'm wary of sleep aids, because once I use one I can't fall asleep again without it for days after, but this worked very well.

Have to agree with Hellbie here.  The stuff will knock you out.  Doesn't taste great, but it's not aweful either.  Kinda like grape Kool-aide without the sugar.   

CAUTION: Use *only* when you have 8-9 hours available to sleep!  Otherwise you risk over-sleeping.

ftfy  :P 

Every time I take Nyquil, I sleep almost the whole day.  Why I can't take it if I have to work, no matter how bad I feel.

Last time I took Nyquil I slept a weekend away. I thought it was Saturday until I looked at my phone and saw it was Monday. I wondered why I was so thirsty and hungry, but damn.

Lesson Learned?
Never drink two shot glasses of Nyquil because two shots of Green Death flavored fluid won't get you to sleep faster, just a lot longer.

I dont think ZzzzQyuil works as good as that.
But I do like the really really really really great sleep that NyQuil gives. That is some good stuff.

Trust me, some of the things I've drunk in my life, NyQuil is tame in comparison. I once drank formaldehyde mixed with beer. Now that puts one on their rear! Smooth though.

Sweet, some day some 7th grader is going to be cutting your remains open to see what your last meal was.

As for the responses so far, yeah I would only want to use it if I knew I had enough time for a full 8 hours of sleep. I would test how much is needed to knock me out and how long I would be sleeping before actually putting it to any real use. I'm nocturnal living in a world of people operating on farmer's hours. Basically need it to try and help maintain a fake regular hours sleep schedule.

I've filled that little cup they give you and it still took hours for me to fall asleep. I have also woken up within the 8 hours and could feel the effects, so went right back to sleep. I gotta agree, once it does work there is some nice sleep to be had. I don't think I have ever gotten sleepy much less knocked out by nyquil within the time it takes to take a sock off, except for when I was little.  Thats why I was wondering if zzyquil would have the same effect without the medicine component.

I admit though that last year I did take nyquil for a few extra days after being sick because of how damn good the sleep was. Not a good idea, I know. :))

When I was in Basic Training, we had a free day and one of my roommates drank two bottles of NyQuil (of the 3 he bought)at about 0800 and was asleep till 0330 the next day at which point we literally had to push him out of his rack onto the floor in order to get him up.

You had a free day in Basic? Wow, talk about a rarity. As for that 7th grader cutting open my stomach, they will find a very well preserved stomach. Ah my mispent and drunken youth.
