    It’s more of a placebo than an actual sleep aid. It’s not harmful though. If you want to take it, don’t worry. If you think it helps, then in some small way it does.

        But if you NEED to fall asleep in the next hour 25-50mg of diphenhydramine, 1-2 normal Benadryl or Advil/Tylenol/Motrin PM(with they’re active ingredients) does a pretty reliable job if you let it. You have to get in bed and give it a shot at working but I find little failure with it. You will however be somewhat groggy in the morning, drink water.
