For years, I took Benedryl from time to time as a sleep aid. Worked like a charm and was supposed to not be habit forming.
But unfortunately, I'm afraid I've become a bit too reliant on it since I've stopped drinking. Taking 2 every night..its like i'm AFRAID I won't be able to sleep. I told myself I would get through this week of work (really MUST get sleep or I'm a zombie...and I have too much to do), and then next week really start tapering off it.
Anyone use Valerian? I noticed that the SleepyTime tea I used to buy has it as an ingredient, but then realized I could buy the vitamin itself and add it to any teas (I like to switch up flavors from time to time).
