        I took benadryl to sleep exactly once. I didnt sleep but atleast it made me hear creepy shouting when drifting off and some weird body feel.

          Still far, far better than the Benadryl suggestion.

          A drugged antihistamine sleep leaves you in better shape than if you hadn’t slept at all, but not much better. That’s only good when you’re sick as a dog and doing nothing the next day.

            You could very easily get ambien prescription at that point. Its like a benzo that has not life threatening addiction issues attached to it. It was very useful for me to get to sleep. It actually makes you sleep better.
