"All of the literature I have seen with diphenhydramine, the antihistamine best studied for insomnia, indicate that when one increases it above 50 mg nightly no superiority in hypnotic effect is achieved, but there is an increase in anticholinergic side effects. It is also important to note that studies have indicated that diphenhydramine only has a significant effect on sleep latency and does not significantly improve other sleep parameters."
