Off and on insomnia

Posted by Ginger on January 06, 2002 at 13:27:31:

Hi all! I'm new here.
I go thru periods of sleep troubles. I don't do it every night. Like 2 nights ago I woke up in the middle of the night and could not go back to sleep without taking Benadryl...it always knocks me out.
The next night I slept great.
Then last night I couldn't go to sleep at all. For some reason I felt scared and got anxious. The more I tried to go to sleep the more anxious I would get.
I had to take Benadryl again and 1 hour later it knocked me out and I slept 6 hours without waking.
What is my problem??!!
Does anyone else do this?
Thanks for the input.
Ginger
