ways/drugs to make you sleep instantly

im at uni at the moment and in halls. Iv had problems with depression, panic attacks in the past. Im not getting to sleep till about 6am everyday and its lonely being in my room all night. im now feeling very trapped and panicy in my room, i need to either go to sleep straight away or go somewhere else. Does anyone know of any ways or drugs to make you sleep instantly or safely ovverdose, just enough to knock you out but not kill you. i only have anadin extra, how mmany to take?

I heard chloroform is quite good for this.

Just get some Nytol. Otherwise, go to the doctor.
put quiz call on TV with sleep set on at 20 minutes, listen to their pointless boring waffling then you fall asleep :P works for me but sometimes i forget to put sleep on and wake up with channel 5 on in the morning thinking wtf is going on now XD

Sleep tea (Clipper do a good one but its an acquired taste) which works for me or Quiet Life tablets. If you're having panic attacks you should work on your breathing as well.

I recently bought some accupressure pads from Boots. I'll post again if they work.
I would also like to know this, though over the counter stuff, not doctors strong stuff

I wouldn't mind something heavy duty, I need to know how to sleep quickly. I have too much going on in my head to risk lying down and actually recognising the thoughts at the moment.

Your doctor could give you some sleeping pills

Anything that knocks you out instantly knocks you out... it doesn't put you into an actual sleep. You'll wake up still tired and with a banging headache. But, if that's what you're after... fair enough.

Otherwise, the best you can hope for is something that will make you drowsy and therefore help you get to sleep. It won't just put the lights out for you.
You were joking about the Anadin ... right? :s-smilie:

Stay up all night, then at around 9pm the next day you'll be super-tired and all ready to hit the hay.
Piriton works for me 20 minutes later and I'm out like a light guarenteed . I've been prescribed sleeping tablets before and they had no where near the same affect, could be worth a try?
Other then hitting yourself with a heavy object i dont think anything will enduce immediate sleep other then anesthesia.

I always try and suggest a non drug related ie: hot milk and relaxing before bed.

As this dosent seem a option to you, i would see your doctor and explain the problem you may get some treatment for your anxiety.

Works for me too.
anadin will never make u sleep so dont be silly (im studying pharmacy btw)
chloroform has liver cancer as a side effect and i doubt u could get hold of it
maybe u need to have a look at your lifestyle. excercise will improve your sleep and will also make you happier. although dont excercise right before bed. lol
try not to look for the quick fix as its usually never the best, look at the bigger picture
I used to work nightshift and when I got in at 8am I was still wide awake and I knew I had to get myself to sleep to be up for work again at 10. This may make me sound alcoholic (which I'm not) but I had a can or two of a premium lager before bed, which saw me off everytime without fail.

Try Marajuana!
Hmm, according to your profile your at Birmingham? How about leaving your drink on the side for 5 minutes in Gatecrasher, it'll collect plenty of drugs that make you sleep instantly.

OP i went to the doctors a couple of weeks ago with symptoms that sound exactly like yours. I was prescribed Zopiclone, which is a pretty good sleeping tablet (obviously tell your doctor you have tried over the counter stuff and nothing works otherwise they will send you away with nothing). It takes about half an hour to work after you take it, and it makes you drowsy so you are able to fall asleep. It doesn't knock you out but it does work as long as you actually switch your lights off and get into bed once you've taken it.
