I thought so too until I learned my kid gets wired from it instead. Apparently hyperactivity happens instead of drowsiness in 10-15% of kids, mine included.

Diphenhydramine. Exact same pill exact same dose in both benadryl and Nytol (otc sleeping pill in the uk)

Pro tip, don't take a double dose then try to stay awake unless you wanna feel like you've entered another dimension. Pro pro tip don't do the same while also on opiates unless you want to actually travel to that dimension.
