I feel like I'm repeating myself when I say I don't sleep. I've blogged about it before, in many places, and there really is nothing to be found in blogging about sleep problems other than a record that the sleep problem did in fact occur, and it was such a slow news day that it seemed an interesting topic at the time.
I can't honestly call it a slow news day, I know, there's a lot going on in the world. But I don't care about that, because I don't sleep.
People who helpfully offer quick fixes for my insomnia do not have my kind of industrial-strength ability to just not sleep for months at a time, so telling me to go for a walk will result in me asking if insomnia means that one night where the garbage collection was too noisy, and depending on how long it's been since I slept, I may throw in a few words that aren't cleared for public broadcasting. Because I understand I could end up in prison, I will not use violence. Still, I'm just gonna stop you here and say it won't help. Whatever it is, I've done it, it won't help.
Benadryl, the current antihistamine of the world, contains the same ingredient as mild sleeping pills. People take Benadryl when they can't sleep, or give it to their children for the same reason. Last night I took a lot of Benadryl. I laid there in sleep stage 1 for two hours, and then I noticed I was itchy.
Those two hours were not enough, Benadryl alone is not enough to bring peace. The experiment was a failure.

Three is Twice as Ineffective as One.

Sorry about the insomnia. I am fortunate not to suffer from it, except on very rare occasions, like when my danged tooth hurts. In that case, booze is my fix. But as you say, I'm sure you've tried it. I wish you many restful nights in the future.
PS - Have you tried getting hit on the head? Just checking.
