Here's another tip -
drink a lot of water.
just in general, drink more water, it will help you feel better but also will help with some of the grogginess that anti-histamines can cause (diphenhydramine and doxylamine)

waking up feeling groggy and tired is one thing but waking up feeling groggy, tired, and dehydrated just makes things exponentially worse.

Drinking energy drinks and large amounts of coffee is a habit you should ween yourself off from for various reasons but especially because you have sleep issues! Its quite easy to become co-dependent on sedatives at night and stimulants during the day; that's a road you DO NOT want to stroll down.

so to help on various levels - drink more water.

What is Doxolymine ? What is it compared to Diph?

It's a first generation ethanolamine antihistamine that is very similar to diphenhydramine but twice as potent mg:mg. Diphenhydramine actually produces some stimulation due to NRI activity but this is overpowered by the sedation. For many, myself included, when the sedative wears off, you get restlessness from the stimulant which can be uncomfortable when you're awake or inhibit the quality of sleep you get. This is why I prefer doxylamine.

Oh man cane, I definitely know what your talking about! Diph always gives me horrible rls! I foolishly took it once trying to get some sleep while kicking heroin, big mistake. I squirmed around in my bed all night soaked in sweat. Needless to say I haven't taken it since
