Is There Any Long Lasting Side Effect From Benadryl?

my husband and I take a Benadryl each night before going to bed. We both have some allergies but I seem to be able to sleep much better and it s the only med I take for allergies. my husband sometimes takes another allergy med in the morning - starts with a Z - can t remember the name of it. Are there long lasting side affects from this? or is it realtively safe to use it once before bedtime? thanks
