My grandma has trouble sleeping through the night. i was wondering if there is something i could give her or do for her?

Common problem: This is a very common problem, especially in the elderly. Though otc preps such as tylenol (acetaminophen) pm can have side effects, in general they would be safe to try. The best course would be for her to check with her primary health care provider who knows her medical history.
