A member asked:
Small things keep me awake like a muscle twitch or a leg move and i have to take benadryl (diphenhydramine) to go to sleep. what is the reason for this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prevention: Not being able to sleep may indicated sleep problems that can be life shortening or life threatening. A condition called restless leg syndrome may be at play. The only way to know if there are serious problems is with an overnight sleep test. I encourage you to seek help.
