Want to fall asleep

Is it normal not to be able to fall asleep without taking something? I go through strange periods where I get such bad anxiety where I can only fall asleep if I take benadryl or stronger medicine. I hate the idea of being addicted to something to help me sleep, but it's so frustrating that I cannot fall asleep. Anyone else have this problem?

    Only your doctor knows what can help you. Don't be afraid to ask because for all you know, you could have a sleeping disorder.

    I can sort of relate since I often have insomnia, but I've never taken anything for it. Why do you get such bad anxiety problems? Perhaps you should look into that for help on your sleeping patterns.
    Or you can try exhausting yourself before you go to sleep. Exercise/Working out before bed? Or what the first comment said(*ahem*). Just relaxing is important to getting to sleep, so give something like that a try.
