Benadryl knocks me out the next day, but I took it for many months anyway. Probably got some of the benefits.
This is an ongoing interest for me, sleep, I mean. My present effort includes taping the mouth, milk/decaf/sugar a couple of hours before bed, cheese at bedtime. Pinches of salt especially in the evening. Then, warm light on the foot of my bed and a warm nightlight in the bathroom with the door ajar.
I sometimes say a prayer, think of the sea... (Was told years ago to think of some beautiful peaceful scene.) Have my humidifier on. Elevate the head of the bed slightly.
Listen to calming music and do stretches for an hour before bed...
Those things help me. I take magnesium and aspirin at bedtime.. And a peppermint enteric coated capsule to ward of IBS. Oh, I have a heating pad turned on, before bedtime, to warm up the bed in winter. Then turn it off..
There is probably more...
