Benadryl to sleep nay or yay? If I don't take them + melatonin

>are you me

I take melatonin which helps but insomnia plus shitty sleep patterns since I was a kid still cause me to stay awake for a couple hours after getting in bed. Heavy squat and diddlylifts make me sleep like a baby. The only other things that help is Mary Jane(not recommended) and sparring at the martial arts gym I joined.

I'd say try the benadryl and report back. Just because you get 8 hours doesn't necessarily make it good if sleep quality is shit and you never ever REM.

I've been on diphenhydramine (25 mg) for about two years now. It works better than anything else ive tried, and ive tried a ton. Melatonin and valerian root worked for a while, but eventually i built up a tolerance to both.

Chlorpheneramine (sp?) also works great. Both are first generation antihistamines and are highly sedative, but pretty safe.

Highly advise you stay off that shit to sleep. I spent 10 years taking it, having to up the dose as I went. Had nasty withdraws when I tried to quit cold turkey. You need to suck it up and learn to sleep like a normal person. It'll be alot easier now than after years of drug abuse.

Yes it works well but you can only take it 3-4 days in a row then you have to give yourself a break. Try not to up the doseon benadryl, just give yourself time off. It stops working really fast. Quality of sleep is probably an 8/10. I take doxylamine succinate (the sleep aid in NyQuil and some others) along with benadryl and alternate the days. Doxylamine sleep quality is probably a 6-7/10. I feel really lethargic and its very hard to wake up after I take it but it puts me out more surely than benadryl. Been doing this for almost 3 weeks now and have noticed a vast improvement in mental health and alertness.

Two seconds on google instead of being a cunt would do wonders for you. But fuck my advice bro, just swallow them peelz, you're in your early 20's ain't nothing gonna go wrong, right?

Sounds about as plausible as insomnia. if you cant just fall asleep with some ZMA you really need to change an aspect of your life that makes you stay up at night thinking about what anime character to masturbate to in the morning.
