HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the insomnia then it can not be benefited with "Diphenhydramine" but it need to be tried with anxiolytic medicine or Benzodiazepines but it is better to come out of this condition on your own and for that try some exercise, yoga, meditation, relaxation therapy, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
