I just learned a couple of days ago that Benadryl is super bad for you as well. Ruins your brain and increases chances of dementia by a good bit.

It's usually my go-to when I'm not tired. Needless to say, I won't be doing that anymore.

OTC supplement called CALM. Has melatonin and magnesium. This with a Benadryl should do it, however Benadryl occasionally works the opposite way.

The best: 5mg melatonin and .5mg klonopin.

That’ll for sure work

Doc might give you trazadon

Diphenhydramine HCI 25 Mg

Aka Benadryl. One per night, right before I get in bed. I have no trouble falling asleep, but if I don’t take one, I’ll wake up at 3am, my brain will ramp up, and I won’t get back to sleep for hours. If I take one, I’ll usually still wake up around that time, but I’m just drowsy enough to keep the brain slow and get back to sleep.

You’re not supposed to take benzodiazepines long term.

I mean you can’t beat sleep on codeine cough meds, but it’ll scramble your brain.


I don't think codeine cough meds are so freely prescribed. Also codeine has the opposite effect on some folks.

NyQuil always works for me to sleep all night . Without it I usually wake up around 2 or 3 and have trouble going back to sleep. I tried zzquil and it didn’t work as well. I also take a double dose as I’m a large man.

I’ve been taking 2 advil PM every night for 10 years. I Sleep 7 hours, hard. Without it, my brain is up 1-2 hours before I can relax and I wake up constantly

Is your mind racing keeping you up? If so, get a white noise machine. Hell, try it regardless and see if it helps. I use one and fall asleep very quickly.

Forgo the meds. Try progressive muscle relaxation and listen to the guy linked while in bed. Try it for a week & see how it works for you.
