How do you make yourself sleep when you can’t seem to get to sleep?(both)

I have a TV/DVD in my bedroom so I will watch a movie or similar until my eyes droop closed then push the off button on the remote. Like last night

I literally have to take benadryl. Nothig else works, and I have tried EVERYTHING except for prescrition sleep meds.

@DearAmbellina2113 Is Benadryl over the counter or prescription?

@Gusman Over the counter where I live.

@DearAmbellina2113 it has been linked to increased dementia risk so I hope you can find a better alternative.

@Peaceful Yeah I wish. I hated taking it, but nothing else worked and I was starting to have hallucinations from sleep deprivation.
