I strongly suggest you give nightly temazepam a chance to show you what it means to get a good night's sleep. Damn the tolerance/dependence thing.
I took it every night for four years, and it did fade a little bit in effect (or the underlying insomnia got worse), but I went off it cold turkey and didn't even notice.
Benadryl is not in the same class a temazepam, IMHO. For occasional insomnia, sure. But not every night.
