So I’ve been battling this cough for about a week, one that only bothers me only at night, causing a lack of sleep – not only for me, but my wife and infant child. Yesterday I’m at the grocery store picking up something for dinner and see a display for the new Tylenol Cough & Sore Throat. I get the “Nighttime” formula with “Instant Cool Burst Sensation!” and take it after last night’s 24 season premiere ended (aside: now that’s how you start a season!). It was harsh going down, like drinking peppermint extract straight from the bottle.

Within 20 minutes, I started getting all woozy at my computer and felt like I was going to fall asleep. Mind you, this was about two hours before I actually do go to sleep. Deciding that reading would be impossible under the influence, I got into bed just before unconsciousness took over. Next thing I know, it’s time to wake up. Now two hours later, I still feel dazed and confused. It’s been years since I took medicine like that, so I had forgotten how potent they can be. I should’ve known when the self-checkout required cashier approval of the purchase. Hopefully a little sugar-free NOS will slam my sluggishness into reverse.
