So, I had this great idea that I was going to be in bed by 9:00 in preparation for my test in the morning, but my reticular activating system had other plans for me, so hear I sit at 11:22 PM awake with the MCAT only hours away.
 
Will I get turned in if I admit to using Benadryl for off-label purposes? I do have allergies, but times when I really really need to get to sleep, it works wonderfully.

I am prescribed to ambien, but this test is so important that I am afraid of over-sleeping and do not want to leave anything to chance.
 
Yeah, I agree with that. I think that's why I like the Benadryl - I don't sleep through alarms when I take it, and it only lasts 6 hours. Since I need at least 7.5 to feel really rested, it works for me.

I'm afraid of prescription sleep aids. A friend of mine had one prescribed many years ago, and she literally became psychotic.

They aren't for every one. They act on very specific receptors of the brain that are more prone to elicit effects such as hallucinations among other things. That is why it is critical to alert one's physician whenever these effects occur to see if it is time for you to stop taking that particular medication.

we're so fixated, we've forgotten what they are distracting us from experiencing.

Personally, I like the hallucinations. I like to drink just enough cough medicine to make me think I am Keith Whitley.

Benadryl doesn't put me to sleep at all. I take Melatonin. Works like a charm.
