Anticholinergics are really bad for your brain long term. I’ve started taking an herbal supplement called apigenin, which is derived from chamomile flowers that works surprisingly well. And I say that as a fellow night owl chronic insomniac.

As someone else pointed out. Thats not a good habit to be in. Its bad for your brain long term. If you do have allergies, switch to newer generation antihistamines.

Doxylamine is actually better than diphenhydramine. It has less anticholinergic side effects.
