I have been abusing benadryl for a couple years now. I've decided that I'm not using it anymore, but I'm paying the same price I paid which made me begin using it anyway. I've tried early am exercise, cutting caffeine, supplementing magnesium, chamomile and skull cap tea before bed, no electronics before bed. Nothing has seemed to have helped. I've recently learned two other people in my family, an uncle and his son, both have the same issues and also turned to benadryl to get those precious four hours of sleep. Just wondered how common this is.
