I'll do that from time to time. A little Benadryl will do the same for me, too.

I took benadryl to sleep exactly once. I didnt sleep but atleast it made me hear creepy shouting when drifting off and some weird body feel.

Good to know! I'll keep that in my pocket. It is sometimes used off label to treat anxiety, so I can see it causing unwanted effects.

It might be, but not in a way that also makes it good for sleep, atleast for me.

It affects me like that, too. It also makes my legs all restless and kicky. It sucks!

Nop. Sleep quality will be worse.

Still far, far better than the Benadryl suggestion.

A drugged antihistamine sleep leaves you in better shape than if you hadn't slept at all, but not much better. That's only good when you're sick as a dog and doing nothing the next day.

You could very easily get ambien prescription at that point. Its like a benzo that has not life threatening addiction issues attached to it. It was very useful for me to get to sleep. It actually makes you sleep better.
