Almost every over-the-counter sleep aid contains diphenhyrdramine hydrochloride, which is the active ingredient in Benadryl. Problem is the sleep aids cost quite a bit more than Benadryl and you don't get as many pills. So you're really better off just buying plain old Benadryl. There is one exception to the rule, and that's Unisom. Benadryl does the trick for most people, so you should only use Unisom if your insomnia is severe. One word of warning: Both Benadryl and Unisom can leave you feeling groggy the next day.
