They make something for that now; it's called vodka.

Ohh. . . Vodka is evil and I have successfully avoided it for 25 years. Instead I see tequila regularly!

I don't like vodka and tequila makes me giggle so I drink milk when I can't sleep.

I say this because I nearly took the path this gentleman did because of it:

. . .On 24 September 1980, Bonham was picked up by Led Zeppelin assistant Rex King to attend rehearsals at Bray Studios for an upcoming tour of the U.S.; the band's first since 1977. During the journey Bonham had asked to stop for breakfast, where he downed four quadruple vodkas (roughly sixteen shots, amounting to about half of an imperial quart or 473 ml). He then continued to drink heavily when he arrived at the rehearsals. A halt was called to the rehearsals late in the evening and the band retired to Page's house, The Old Mill House in Clewer, Windsor. After midnight on the 25th, Bonham had fallen asleep and was taken to bed and placed on his side. Benji LeFevre (who had replaced Richard Cole as Led Zeppelin's tour manager) and John Paul Jones found him dead the next afternoon.[17] Bonham was 32 years old.

Weeks later at the coroner's inquest, it emerged that in the 24 hours before he died, John Bonham had consumed forty shots of vodka which resulted in him vomiting and subsequent aspiration (inhaling) of his vomit, causing asphyxiation (he choked to death). A verdict of accidental death was returned at an inquest held on 27 October.[17] An autopsy had found no other drugs in Bonham's body.[18] John Bonham was cremated and, on 12 October 1980, interred at Rushock Parish Church, Worcestershire.

That was my 27th birthday. I had a torrid affair with the stuff, preferring it "neat" and endless, to that point. On the evening in question I consumed 3/4 of a gallon of the elixir, and had a good friend not heard me aspirating the vomit and exercised the good sense to turn me onto my side, I'd have joined John Henry Bonham just 2 years after it had happened to him.  I've never touched it since, not even in a mixed drink.

Hum, I guess maybe melatonin might be worth a try.

been there.  nothing keeps me asleep.  a few things help me get there-but never long.  i could tranqualize myself-but refuse.  i have children and need to be able to spring to action.  though, this lack of sleep is maddening.

I don't think I've ever had insomnia attacks to that extent but I do go for a week or so at a time on 2 to 4hrs of sleep a night, with no nap I might add, and then one night I'll sleep for 6 or 8hrs and then the whole thing repeats itself again in a few days.  I have two daughters who do that too and the youngest is real bad.  She has gone for a couple of days on only 2hrs of sleep only her catch up nights are 10 to 12hrs.
