Benadryl allergy pills make me drowsy?
What's in these pills that make me sleep for hours???

Well, it's the active ingredient itself: diphenhydramine hydrochloride. Remove it (to get rid of the sleepiness), and a Benadryl pill becomes nothing more than a placebo.
You might try Claritin instead. It's available over-the-counter, although it is more expensive than Benadryl. It basically does the same thing (relieves allergy symptoms), but without the drowsiness.

I was having alot of anxiety before sleeping and could not fall asleep. Had many many sleepless nights.
I was just playing with the program one afternoon and wanted to listen to the �Power Nap� track. Next thing I knew I was waking up! Fell right asleep without trying. After using the �Fall Asleep� track, I could fall asleep right away. But I didn't realize that I shouldn't be using that one all night. Switched to Whole Night and have been using it ever since.
I can go to sleep with ease now. I just lay and listen to the sounds and next thing I know I am waking up from a nice sleep. I don't suffer from lack of sleep anymore. I keep an IPod with earbuds next to my bed and take it ALWAYS when traveling. The earbuds help block out ambient noise and the sleep tracks keep me sleeping sound :)
Reboot your brain & sleep soundly again?

Take a half of a Benedryl tablet every 4 hours as needed.

These make many people sleepy but not everyone. You can buy non-drowsy formulas these days. Have you tried those?
