answer:I’m with you. I feel anything can be habit forming – from that cup of coffee in the morning to the milk and cookies before bed. If you need to do it every day, it’s a habit by definition: A recurrent, often unconscious pattern of behavior that is acquired through frequent repetition. That said, there are different degrees of habit forming: from one time and you’re hooked and willing to sell your own mother to using the bathroom before taking a nighttime shower and going to bed. I have used benadryl as a sleep aid. I take it about an hour before bed on the rare occasions when I need some help. It is cheap, effective, and easy to store in my shaving kit. You probably have some around the house already. One of the “latest and greatest” new sleep aids is merely benadryl (25mg dph h) in liquid form. Save your money. By the way, I believe nothing said by drug advertisers when it is spoken at an auctioneer’s pace or flashed on a screen in a font so small my 1080p monitor can’t resolve it. That is an immediate turn off and convinces me they have something to hide.
