  My physician says it is safe to use Benadryl a few days a week to assist with insomnia. The other recommendation of mine personally is to not nap during the day for a better nights sleep. Although, I still have insomnia even when I don't nap, but some nights this works when I'm very tired.

  I'm right there with you... I sleep fine for a couple of hours then I'm up till the sun rises and that's when I can finally go back to sleep.

  My insomnia has been awful for the past 6 weeks and I'm 13 weeks now.  I can't fall asleep, stay asleep, and I'm up at 5am.  I don't think I've slept for more than a total of 4-5 hours a night so far and it's really taking a toll on me.  So..I guess I really don't have any advice but I know what you are going through.  My hope is that it eases up in the next few weeks.

  I take unisom every single night. Plus if you take it with b6 it helps with morning sickness.

  I take unisom every night also.  There are two different kinds.  I have to alternate every few weeks because after taking the same type for a few weeks its effectiveness will start to wear off.  I take 50 mg of the diphenhydramine and only need a half dose of the doxylamine.  I'm so glad that my doctor allows me to take this medication.  It really helps a lot.

  She suggested Benadryl or Tylenol pm...I am going to wait it out another week and then I am throwing in the towel
