I feel that I could break world record in insomnia. Sometimes it can spend all week with just a few hours sleep. It is not something I like or encourage but it is happening. I have realized that I need some medical help. And there comes the trouble. I have to people with different opinions. My mother thinks that I should take doxylamine succinate and my grandfather thinks that it would be better to use diphenhydramine because he is using it himself. Tell me which is stronger so I can decide.

I understand that you honor your family and what they think but wouldn't be better to decide by yourself or to consult the doctor. I can tell you medical facts. And the medical fact is that diphenhydramine is better at inducing sleep and sedation and therefore it is stronger. But different individuals response differently on medications, so I cant recommend you any of them, you must decide yourself.
