This is my drug of choice for sleep. I do feel a little drowsy in the morning...but i have wonderful peaceful sleep with it. Try to dedicate at least a full nights rest for it. Good luck.

I've never taken the Unisom brand but I've taken Benedryl that has the same active ingredient (diphenhydramine) and it usually takes around an hour and it lasts for most of the night, probably aroung 5-7 hours. I'm not sleepy after it wears off but the effects really vary from person to person.

If you use it, ensure it is only for a short time. See insomnia treatments, in section 3, at ezy build, below. Use one of the relaxation methods, in bed, after lights out, on pages 2, 11, 2.c, or 2.i, but they can take some time to learn, (progressive muscular relaxation excepted) so learn and become proficient in their use during the day; an alternative is to use the EFT, in section 53, and pages 2.q, and 2.o, saying to yourself: "Even though I currently have a sleep disorder, I deeply and completely accept myself." (or choose your own wording) while you use the acupressure tapping.

Find out which works best for you, in the daylight hours, so you will be prepared, come bedtime. For many people, a good idea is to develop a set "wind down" routine for the last hour before bedtime, so your subconscious mind learns that it is time to put thinking aside, and prepare for mindfulness, (awareness, without cogitation/purposeful thought) or the EFT, in preparation for sleep, but the idea with mindfulness is to not even think about sleeping: just drift off, naturally, during exercising those techniques. http://www.ezy-build.net.
