    Is diphenhydramine a good sleep aid?
    Although diphenhydramine is commonly used for sleeping it is not recommended because it prevents the brain from achieving restorative deep REM sleep and tends to cause anxiety or a “hangover” effect, which causes a person to feel drowsy the next day. Alternatives, such as zolpidem, are preferred as a sleep aid.

    What are the best sleep aids for endolymphatic hydrops?

    Endolymphatic hydrops is a condition that affects the inner ear and can cause symptoms such as vertigo, tinnitus, and hearing loss, which can affect sleep quality. There are various sleep aids that can be helpful for people with endolymphatic hydrops, depending on their specific symptoms and medical history. Some common sleep aids include over-the-counter or prescription medications such as antihistamines, melatonin, or sedatives, which can help with falling asleep or staying asleep. White noise machines or other sound therapy devices may also be helpful for masking tinnitus or other distracting noises that can interfere with sleep.
