Hello
Consumption of Tylenol is generally safe is consumed in prescribed amount, but each individual is different and due to some reason it may cause liver and kidney injury and this could be the reason of sleep problem. So get liver function and kidney function tests done to see is they are within limit.
And if tests come to be normal, then she would need just behaviour therapy ( sleep hygiene).
Hope this answers your query.
Regards.
