Need to sleep. - General - Facepunch Forum

okay...so I am having a terrible time trying to sleep..ive been up for like 29 hours...i feel terrible. So, i was wondering if you know of any medications/drugs/anything in general that will make me sleepy/knock me out?

Weeeeeeeed. :rolleyes:

something i can take with my parents home.

Alcohol makes me sleep very well, steal a beer or two from your parents and eat some chips in bed or something until you fall asleep. If you wanna go legit, pick up some Tylenol PM.

would it be bad to take any sort of pm pills like every night? cause i know tylenol can cause some fucked up things over time...or atleast ive heard

I take a pill called melatonin when I can't sleep. It's totally legal and wont fuck you up. Its the stuff in your body that makes you sleepy, taking the pill will just help speed it up.

Initially, the drinks do make you sleepy, but as you're coming down about three hours afterwards, restlessness and such set in.

I'd say you should find some valerian. It's not designed to knock you out, but is often enough to calm your body down and sleep easier. I'd say avoid drugs and medication this kind of thing as it normally passes. Seeing a doctor about it will probably only make it worse, because most of the time it's just brought on by over-thinking while you're trying to sleep My friend's mum is into all those alternative medicine things and recommends breathing properly (through the nose, out the mouth) to help cool and calm the brain. Best bet is just to drink some warm milk, turn on the tv (put it on sleep mode) and watch a slightly interesting show or movie that has long ad breaks in between.

OTC sleep aids containing Diphenhydramine work pretty well.

Opiates works well, even in non-narcotic doses.

I wouldn't recommend using opiates in this situation

[QUOTE=Adrego;17976136]Or take 20 and see a pigeon knocking a cow out cold.[/QUOTE] So fucking true.

natural OTC options include Melatonin, 5-HTP, Kava kava, and Valerian Root. Kava is probably the best (and the toughest to find) Not-so-natural OTC Options include Diphenhydramide (Tylenol PM and such) and Doxylamine Succinate (Unisom). These work, but it feels different from "normal" sleep and you may wake up feeling sort of hung over. P

melatonin. don't use too often or else you'll basically need them just to fall asleep

I'm getting a lot of boxes in this thread :raise:

Must not sleep. Must warn others.
