A member asked:
Is sleeping a lot a bad thing when you have taking too many all day strong aleve (naproxen)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, but....: You should not be taking more than 4 Aleve (naproxen) per day under any circumstances. If you take four or less, sleep is not a bad thing. Sedation is not a feature of naproxyn, except for my arthritis patients who sleep better or longer because of pain relief.
