Learned the hard way

I slept terrible last night. I had to get up at 6:00 am which is two hours earlier than usual. I took two Benadryl at 12:00 am to help me sleep but they didn’t work. I was in that half awake mode on and off until 4:00 am and I could take another Benadryl. I took another one and slept a little. Got to work at 8:00 am and drank a couple cups of diet Dr. Pepper. I got in and started to mop the lobby but I almost passed out. I told my boss and he called his boss and she said take a 20 minute break. After my break I walked up a flight of stairs and almost passed out and had to sit down on the stairs until I felt better. I finished the lobby but I was exhausted and dizzy and felt like crap. So I called my bosses boss and she let me off. Now I’m sitting at the gas station getting ready to go home. I know it was mixing the sleeping pill with the caffeine. I will not do that again. It’s nice to have the whole day though.

You really are a trooper. Cheers on getting through that and keeping your head. Sorry it happened.

Yeah, I can’t do Benadryl either. Gives me restless legs.

Here’s hoping you’re able to get some rest. Later Nick.

Isnt benadryl an antihistamine?

Yes, it is. I get it under the name Banophen.

Maybe you should try melatonin or zzzquil. Antihistamines are not intended to be sleeping pills as far as im aware.

Antihistamines are used to induce drowsiness. I take Banophen capsules as PRN’s.
