Yes, ibuprofen has the side effect of keeping we awake. It's much better than caffeine for me since I don't get jittery with it.
- no it knocks me out , i can sleep for hours after i take it.
-It keeps me awake also. It's the only way I can pull an all-nighter, and it's without Caffeine.

∙ 14y agoTwo studies have considered this question and both have confirmed that ibuprofen (or similar non-steroidal anti-inflammatory - NSAID) does not improve sleep. Gengo (2006) says taking Ibuprofen does not provide any better sleep than non-ibuprofen sleep, however Murphy et al (1994) found that NSAID's may actually disturb sleep.

∙ 11y agoLast night I went to bed at 1 am, much later than usual and was pretty exhausted. I felt a headache coming on so I took 2 Ibuprofen just before going to bed and ended up lying there for 3 1/2 hours!! I have a 1 yr old and a 6 yr old....THIS NEVER HAPPENS! I usually fall asleep withing minutes of my head hitting the bed. I went over and over in my head what could be causing this and the only thing I can possibly think of is the Ibuprofen. I'm glad to know now that it can keep me up...i won't be doing that again!!

∙ 11y agoUsually, no. Sometimes it even helps to be taken for pain that keeps you awake when you want to sleep.
But always check the ingredient label on your box or bottle to see if it has caffeine in it. If it does there's a good chance it won't make the sleeping process any easier.

∙ 10y agoOne of the side effects of Ibuprofen is drowsiness. While not everyone will experience that side effect, some are likely to.

∙ 12y agoI'm not sure if it really does or not but after taking a high prescription dose of naproxen I find that I don't sleep very well.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoin certain doses it can. this is because there is caffeine in it. just don't take more than is suggested, and you will get to sleep just fine.
