I used to take sleeping tablets (diazepam), but only a quarter of 1 pill, because I only had trouble with drifting off. I had no side effects, becuase it only was a small amount. But if you do that, you still need to do all the relaxing stuff that has been suggested here to have a long comfortable sleep

err, I would not drink alcohol just to find some sleep. It is just the wrong reason to drink alcohol at all. Your insomnia problems may be caused by any other troubles you have and alcohol or any other drugs could get these worse then they already are. The vodka may get you to sleep but you ll probably feel more uncomfortable the next morning.
Its is like solving problems with creating other problems, e.g. start drinking to forget that you got the alzheimer’s disease :P

Very fair point Holgi.
Has anything happened which has like traumatised (spelling there? It’s rather poor!) you?
Either way, I’d go to the doctor, it doesn’t sound good. But a night at the gym / out on a run would do you a world of good.

Hellooooo!!
:)
Back from a night of rock and roll!!
Gig was excellent, and all my lads did really well!!
so proud of them all…
suprisingly enough i didn’t get drunk..
:D
thought for sure i would.. i had a vodka and coke, jack daniels and coke (i heard JD was the drink of champions..but i’m a light weight so had it with coke..), some blue shit that tasted like cheap ice lollies and i think i had half a triple JD and coke from the bass player of one of the bands… dunno but it made my tongue go numb..:S
went back to the drummers house to party with some of the band and ended up lying awake on the sitting room flor at 2am in the morning.. whilst everyone else was happily asleep..:S
i got about 3 hours sleep on monday night (YEY!!!) then tuesday i didn’t get any..
it’s now 1am on wednesday morning and i am wide awake!!
:S
happy days…

I find that a glass of Coke even in th early evening when I get home from work can be enought to ruin the whole night’s sleep.
It took me years to realise how sensitive I am to the stuff. Seriously, there are heroin addicts who can hold down respectable jobs for years without being found out. If I had a few glasses of Coke throughout the day and in the evening I’d be roughing it on the streets with no job, no car, no wife, no Cadbury’s Creme Eggs* within weeks.

No it hasnt. Everytime I ve got trouble falling asleep it is just for a short time. Usually a couple of days and I wrote above how I fix this problem. Why I suggest not to drink alcohol because I know some people who had really serious problems and as they drank alcohol it makes everything much worser and they nearly ruined their lives. Its like every drug it maybe makes you feel better for a short time but will become one more problem to your life very soon.
Back to Topic: Food could also be a reason for bad sleep at night. So maybe changing your eating habits could solve the problem by eating more healthful stuff, no fast food,etc . High blood pressure can also be reason for a bad sleep which could be affected by the stuff your eating. You should check your system for any allergy you maybe not aware of, either.
