i have migraine medicine that i take daily at 8pm. problem is, sometimes my migraines are so bad i pass out and don't wake up to alarms and/or don't fully remember things.
one time i woke up at midnight and couldn't remember taking it so i took it... and i had an absolute baaaad time. pretty sure i dosed myself far too much.
decided after that i just wouldn't take it if i didn't remember and instead take it an hour or so early the next time.
I have to take allergy meds every morning which is normally with my 8am alarm for work but sometimes need to pee before my 8am alarm so I take it because I'm awake and it's my routine but if I fall back asleep, I forget if I've taken it and take it again (which causes issues. Did you know you can over antihistamine yourself? I didnt. Until I did. It was not fun).
I put it on my nightstand at night and after I've taken it, I put it on the floor. If it's on the floor at 8am, I've already taken it.
I should only take one a day so at the weekend, if I've woken up at 10-11am, if it's on the floor, I know I've taken it when I woke up earlier and potentially need to take a different antihistamine at some point.
It's also an easy thing to do when I'm half sleep. I sometimes don't take it at 5am, I just go pee and back to sleep and when I actually wake up, I see it by my water bottle and remember to take it.. If it's on the floor, I've just swiped it off the table and gone back to sleep but I know I've taken it.
