I was going to suggest an antihistamine (something like Claritin) for the same reason. I'll take one before bed sometimes and it serves double duty. If there is an external reason I'm so itchy, it will tamp it down until I can address it in the morning. Otherwise, it helps distract from the thought by ensuring any "bites" don't itch.
