In the largest randomized control trial for mental health, researchers discovered a link from insomnia to paranoia and hallucinations. Successful treatment of insomnia cut paranoia and hallucinations by around half. While the researchers don't extend similar links as existing outside the studied population, the correlation is quite clear and strong that treatment of insomnia could lead to improvements in other mental health symptoms in other populations.

Diphenhydramine is an anti-cholinergic. It's a good way to get a ripping-strong case of early-onset dementia. I'd occasionally been using Benadryl, which is literally just half a Unisom per dose, as a sleep aid, but cut it out right quick after leaning that. Valerian is good for sleeping.
