A short YouTube monologue advising viewers not to use Benadryl (diphenhydramine) as a sleep aid due to potential long-term harms and a possible link to rising Alzheimer’s/dementia rates. Speaker recommends alternatives including GABA, L-theanine, and melatonin, and states melatonin is neuroprotective and modulates the immune system.
It breaks my heart because so many doctors out there are telling people, just use Benadryl to sleep. And we're wondering why Alzheimer's and dementia is just skyrocketing decade over decade. It's things like this that we don't think are harmful because you can buy it over the counter at the drugstore. So why would it cause you any long term problems? But it really does. So I wanted to highlight that because I know somebody needed to hear that today. Don't take Benadryl to sleep. We got you on GABA and Lianine. And melatonin is neuroprotective. It helps modulate your immune system. There are better options to help you sleep.
