Do painkillers do something for sleeping deep?

Asked by rebbel (35547points) November 11th, 2018

That is, Paracetamol, Ibuprofen, these kinds of over-the-counter painkillers.
The reason I’m asking is because I have been known to sleep (pretty) well after I took some for, for instance, belly pain, or a headache.
I don’t know if it’s something in the meds, or if it’s some kind of placebo effect.
Anybody here that can shed some light?
