Can Excedrin Be Taken Instead Of Aspirin Safely?

Hello I am supposed to take 324 mg of aspirin a day, I have a clotting disorder my factor 8 level was elevated. I have not taken it in two days because I take excedrin pm at night to help me sleep, I need to switch to something else for sleep because excedrin also has aspirin in it and I don t want too take too much aspirin, if I have not taken my aspirin in two days can I take two excedrin tonight before bed? Like has it been enough time?
