Hi Ian
Thank you for getting in touch, we love to hear from all of our patients' experiences with us as this helps us know which treatments are effective in supporting you.
Nytol One-A-Night contain the active ingredient diphenhydramine, a drowsy antihistamine. When Nytol is taken 20 minutes before bed it helps you to fall asleep more quickly and promotes a less disturbed sleep. Typically our patients find Nytol helpful having rated this as 4.8 stars out of 5.
Nytol helps to promote restful sleep. The diphenhydramine works by blocking the histamine receptors inside your brain which has a sedative effect. This process makes you feel less alert and produces drowsiness, helping you get a good night's sleep.
Our clinical team have some further advice for you based on your symptoms and as a result our support team have contacted you directly to help you get a good nights sleep.

We like to give all of our patients a little help when addressing causative factors to poor sleep and Nytol can be a good short term aid to provide relief from difficulty sleeping.

1. Have good sleep routine (sleep hygiene)
2. Relax, unwind and try sleep meditation
3. Try mindfulness for sleep
4. Create the right sleep environment
