Question

Have you taken NyQuil to fall asleep, and if so, what are the effects?

Answer 1

I've only done it once because I needed to get some sleep before the next day. If you do it very rarely, there are no side effects.

Answer 2

I've used it when I had a cold and couldn't get to sleep.  It works.  I slept all night and wasn't kept awake by the coughing.

I wouldn't use it just to get a night's sleep.  That's not what it is for.
