Yeah. Weird accident, that discovery for me too. I'd do better working at night but no can do with my job.

The half-dose worked wonders. It didn't knock me out completely but it did help me ease back to sleep after getting up for anything. It wasn't until about a year ago that a nurse friend of mine pointed out that the "sleep aid" ingredient was just Benadryl. I had never made the connection.
If I take a whole dose (50mg instead of one 25mg tablet), I get jittery and it has the opposite effect. The half-dose has been perfect.
Also, I have no allergies, so I'd never bought anything like Benadryl before.
They doled out Benadryl in rehab if you couldn’t sleep or were feeling anxious. A whole sheet will **** you up, tho 😅
