I think you're on a perfect schedule...if you work a graveyard shift or live in Asia!!!
Benedryl does work, taken (2 capsules) 45 minutes before bedtime but can make you a little groggy in the morning. Prescription sleep meds are much better and turn OFF at the right time, so as not to affect the following day. Have you told your doc about your sleep pattern?
