Meds plus: There are plenty of sleeping meds available, including Benadryl (diphenhydramine) or melatonin. However, you should have good sleep hygiene, going to bed the same time, waking the same time, avoiding night time alcohol or caffeine, making sure that your bedroom is dark, and cool.

INSOMNIA: Getting good night's sleep is important for physical & mental health. Insomnia might be due to several reasons. Have a physical exam to rule out illness. If cleared consult with a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy that helps you benefit from medication prescribed by a Psychiatrist. If uncomfortable with your Dr. seek 2nd opinion. You may need a sleep study.
