So desperate for a good night's sleep I took 25 mg of Melatonin. I still woke up after 5 1/2 hours and was awake for an hour before falling back to sleep and doing the sleep for 45 minutes, wake up for 30 minutes dance I do every weekend.

@jrdepriest The "desperate for sleep" pill is Zzzquil or Benadryl.

@BeAware

I take 75 mg of Benadryl every night, including last night.

@jrdepriest Oh no...you need some time off of that. Unless you absolutely need it for something else, I suggest taking a break for awhile cause your body has become used to it.

Obviously if you need it for something else, don't do that, but if you take it for sleep and don't get much, take a break from the benadryl.

@BeAware

Benadryl is for allergies and also for sleep.
I could go back down to 50 mg of Benadryl.
I also take Zyrtec (not Zyrtec-D).

@jrdepriest Ah. I don't recommend that, then. That sucks you deal with that. Maybe you should consult a doctor if your sleeplessness gets bad enough. I get about 5 hours myself and I feel it's enough, but I'm strange as hell.😬
