I take an anti-histamine. They don’t usually make me drowsy, but if I am wake at 3AM and feel too awake, the anti-histamine is usually enough to push me back to sleep (although it isn’t immediate).

Antihistamines like Benadryl are anticholinergics. They are harmful to the brain and everyone should avoid them. In contrast acetaminophen is universally considered to be safe for people with a normal liver.
I believe it is a personal responsibility to judge the costs and benefits of any medication (prescription or not). Absolutely, take care with Benadryl/Diphenhydramine (more commonly a cough&cold medicine), paracetamol, or any other antihistamines you may use.
