I have trouble sleeping off and on. My partner mentioned Benadryl and it was working so well. I was taking a pill and a half before bed and sleeping very well (due to the drowsiness). But I just read from the Mayo Clinic online that one shouldn't take them more than three or four nights in a row (due to tolerance). Oops - I took them for the whole stressful Christmas holiday. At least I got some sleep. I'm so sad I can't continue to take them. Of course it would be that when I find something that works it falls through.
