Would it be fine to take an extra capsule of tylenol (acetaminophen) pm?

Specializes in Family Medicine

In general no: You most likely should not take more than is recommended on the dosing of the over the counter medication - otherwise you could be getting too high of a dose of acetaminophen. If you are having issues with sleep you should consider speaking with your physician and discussing other alternatives.
