You should see a theater production of it.
Best to avoid a wine at intermission.
Could this be the reason some people wake up at 3am?

Ugg...I'd rather change the rear plugs on a Ford Aerostar
Having owned an Aerostar (great vehicle, incidentally) I'd say it's too close to call.
That's interesting that you say Benadryl puts you in a foul mood the next day. It does the same thing to me.I thought maybe i was crazy but now that i see it does it to others as well i guess im not all that crazy .I wont even take it anymore .

Going to try the almond butter tonight, and a few continual days and see how it goes. I have been taking melatonin, which seems to help, but some reports of negative side effects.
Melatonin is not good for continuous use. It can make you groggy, irritable and long term use has been linked to depression. It’s a natural hormone so any time you mess with normal balance you can expect trade offs.
Agreed. I am not recommending continuous use.
I use it when in Europe, on day one, and I am going to bed at 10 PM (over there, which is 4 PM here) and getting up about 6 AM (midnight here). So, about once a week, or less, when I am flying to Europe.
I get a good night’s sleep, and I am ready for work.
And the 200+ people in the back want me well-rested and ready for work.
Evidently, they have been unsuccessful so far.
Or, is this more of a “catch and release” type of situation?
0300 wake-up is also related to obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). Caused by the hormones that control urine production per the Sleep Foundation.

We had to read the book in 1st-year English.
Many years later I changed the plugs in my friend's Aerostar
I'll take the plugs.
Re-read the front label………..carefully……
No medical advice, but I thought the benefit to Ambien was that it flushed out of the system fairly quickly. But if one woke up in the middle of the night, there’s little residual medication in the bloodstream. Traditional antihistamines take a while for the body to eliminate, which is useful when one has allergies, but leaves that groggy feeling in the morning.
As an airline pilot, how do you deal with all the various rules on potentially sedating meds? I remember seeing something from the FAA saying that Benadryl and all manner of sedating antihistamines used to treat allergies and as sleep aids couldn’t be used for something like 60 hours before piloting an aircraft. I’ve used topical Benadryl to control itching, but they have warnings not to combine use with oral forms of the same medication. I’ve never been sedated by topical Benadryl though.
Did you have similar rules as a military pilot?
Military pilots and commercial pilots have very similar rules. Bottom line is beyond Tylenol, or Motrin, you pretty much can’t have anything that’s available over the counter.
The difference is a military pilot is that we had a Flight surgeon assigned to the squadron, and you could just swing by the doc’s office and ask him if it was OK to take something.
The good ones usually had Motrin on hand. “Vitamin M” in 800mg form…
