>Well for some people (generic) ibuprofen (which is all Motrin is) make them sleepier. For me, its not a great antipyretic (fever reducer). In fact, acetaminophen and aspirin are really the only major fever reducers out there; largely ibuprofen serves as a pain reliever. But I guess perhaps for you, maybe there's a difference. For odd, "heat feelings" that I experience, I take generic acetaminophen. There's no actual fever but it somehow reduces some complex internally generated process.

My aunt takes a 500mg tablet of paracetamol (acetaminophen) at night and says it helps her sleep. I guess it helps with mild aches and pains and muscular soreness that would otherwise keep you awake? It has that effect on me, but I take two Nurofen Plus which has 12.8mg codeine and 200mg ibuprofen per tablet. The codeine also helps me sleep. Can you get OTC tablets that contain codeine in the US? I heard the restrictions are much harsher.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motrin
