Benadryl is known to cause increased heart rate and is not a good idea for A.F. Sorry you aren't feeling well, but I wouldn't take the chance. There are some yoga poses for sleep and breathing exercises that work really well for me if I am having trouble sleeping. A quick Google can give you some ideas.

Sleep is so important. I am a yoga fan too v much so but it sounds like you need knocking out. I wouldn't use Benedetto but get some over the counter herbal stuff of non herbal sleep aid. Good luck. Zzzzzz

If you explain the situation to you doctor I am sure that something can be prescribed to help you with sleeping for a couple of days.
