I've used vistaril equivalent hydroxyzine pamoate for sleep, 50 mg. on occasion. I get a bit of a hangover from it. I have the scrip for vistaril to ease anxiety attacks, so I use it more often for that.
When I have taken Phenergan for anti-nausea purposes, I have felt somewhat drowsy but it did not put me to sleep.
I usually take Klonopin 1mg. for sleep which is just right for me. However, you have probably seen the various posts about Klonopin being tough to get off of. I've never tried to get off of it, so I don't know.
I used Benadryl for a long time also, prior to seeing a doc for scrips.
Good luck.
