nighttime formula
Drowsy cold medicine
Nighttime formula refers to medications—typically cold remedies, cough syrups, or pain relievers—formulated for use before sleep.
These usually contain sedating ingredients like antihistamines or alcohol that cause drowsiness, distinguishing them from their daytime counterparts: I took the nighttime formula and was out in twenty minutes.
The term also applies to infant formulas designed for evening feeding.
