Hi Jeff!

How's it going buddy? We need to talk soon--I've been wondering how you were doing! In answer to your question, I take Bemadryl 3 or 4 times a week to help me sleep. It works REALLY well!

Talk to you soon!

Benedryl is also what they put in Tylenol PM to put you to sleep. It's a very good drug
