Insomnia: There are many causes of insomnia, but tylenol (acetaminophen) and multivitamins are not.
Consider sleep hygeine, psychological stress, and other medical conditions as possible causes.
What is sleep hygeine? This may help you:

Doubt vitamins: Insomnia is multifacited and caused by depression, poor sleep hygiene, mood disorders, pain, emotional disruption. I would think that the multivitamins and tylenol (acetaminophen) are likely not relevant, but have your doctor see the label on the bottle to be sure there is not something like sudafed in them. You can try benadryl 25-50 mg at night to see if that helps and then tell the doctor if it worked or not

Insomniac?: The cause is probably what prompted her to take the vitamin or Tylenol-not those meds specifically barring, that is,pain or some bizarre vitamin deficiency (or worrying about one).And if she thinks it's really one of those pills, then try another,like Motrin or a green drink or a fresh green salad with some yummy salmon on it.If it is true insomnia,with sleepless nights then that's another problem
