Tylenol PM and Sleepinal are both pretty much the same thing as Benedryl: 25 to 50mg doses of diphenhydramine.

When I have had to change my sleep cycle I usually just have to be tired a couple of days after the new schedule kicks in. I don't drink coffee during these times -- no matter how much I want it. Usually I stop drinking coffee on Thursday (or two days before a "weekend") so that I have the headache on Saturday and Sunday. I'm usually fine by Monday.

It should only take a few days of being tired for you to start sleeping at the new time.

Edit: Ratman beat me to it about the benedryl thing.
