Article: Even though symptom guidelines are a pretty good indicator of how you will react to a medication, observe your body's actual response to what you're putting into your body. For example, Benadryl makes some people sleepy, but leaves other people feeling unnaturally wired. You might have to read the small print on the packaging to see what's really in your medication, but avoid these drugs, specifically, if you're trying to get a good night's sleep. Although these decongestants make it easier for you to breathe, they are also light stimulants that might keep you awake, if breathing clearly. Over-the-counter medications often make claims on their packaging that are geared more toward advertising for sales than informing for treatment. It's good to know what the difference between "non-drowsy," "nighttime" and "daytime" really is. "Non-drowsy" medication simply means that there are no ingredients that are meant to induce sleep. This does not, however, mean that the medication is specially formulated to keep you awake or prevent you from getting drowsy. Don't assume that non-drowsy formulas will leave you unaffected: for example many such formulas include pseudoephedrine. "Nighttime" or "PM" medication has compounds that are intended to make you sleepy. Be careful about mixing or doubling up on your medications; if your "nighttime" medications already treats fevers or pain, don't add extra drugs on top of them to target those symptoms. "Daytime" or "AM" medication may be synonymous with "non-drowsy" formulas, or may have caffeine in them to increase alertness. Read the packaging carefully to see what you're getting. Don't assume that "daytime" medications are merely formulas that aren't specifically designed to make you drowsy; if you take one before bedtime, it may well keep you awake. Although nighttime formulas may well get you to sleep quickly, the quality of sleep you get from such medications isn't healing, restorative sleep. Furthermore, the alcohol used in such medications may dehydrate you as you sleep, actually setting your body back in terms of its healing process. Some nighttime medications can become habitual; prolonged reliance on these products to get to sleep can disturb healthy sleeping habits.

Know how you react to your medication. Avoid cold and flu medications that include ephedrine or pseudoephedrine. Decode the medication's packaging. Be wary of "nighttime" formulas in general.
Article: A flat tire may be the most common form of auto repair you can run into. Make sure the vehicle is on a flat, solid (paved) surface and that you're in a safe area. Use a tire iron to break all the lugnuts loose. Then, use a jack to lift the vehicle off the ground and slide a jack stand in next to it to ensure the vehicle can't fall. Remove the lugnuts the rest of the way and remove the wheel from the vehicle. Slide the spare wheel and tire onto the lug studs and then use the lugnuts to hold the new wheel in place. Lower the vehicle back to the ground and then tighten the lug nuts firmly. . If your belt looked damaged, loosen it by engaging the auto tensioner pulley with a breaker bar (if your vehicle has one) or by loosening the bolts securing the alternator to the engine. With the tension released from the belt, simply slide it out over the pulleys and remove it from the vehicle. Use the serpentine belt diagram in the vehicle's owner's manual or found on the manufacturer's website to ensure you run the new belt through the pulleys properly. Once the belt is run, apply pressure to the auto tensioner pulley with the breaker bar to loosen it, and pull it up over the last pulley, then release it to add tension. If your vehicle does not have an auto-tensioner, run the belt over all pulleys, then use a lever to apply pressure to the alternator out away from the engine to make the belt tight, then re-tighten the alternator bolts to maintain tension in the belt. when they appear dry or cracked. Bad windshield wipers can make driving in the rain unsafe. You can remove most wipers by pulling them out away from the windshield, then turning the wiper perpendicular to the arm it's on (on a 90 degree angle). Then simply slide the wiper off of the hook holding it in place. Some wipers may have a notch or tab you need to press to release the blade from the arm. Install the new blade and then fold the arm back flat against the windshield. A dirty air filter can reduce gas mileage, or at worst, prevent the vehicle from running. Use the owner's manual to help you locate the airbox, then unclip the 4 clips holding it closed. Open the airbox and inspect the filter for damage, dirt, and debris. If the air filter is damaged or discolored, remove it and simply drop a new one in its place. Resecure the airbox when you're done. . Bad brake pads will squeak and not step as effectively as good ones. First jack up the vehicle, secure it on jack stands and remove the wheels. Then remove the two caliper bolts holding the pads and their bracket in place. Slide the bracket up and out of the caliper, then remove the brake pads. Use a C-clamp to compress the caliper piston back into the caliper, and the insert the new brake pads. Resecure the brake pad bracket to the caliper with pads in place. Put the wheels and tires back on the vehicle and lower it to the ground when you're done.
