Vitamin B-3 as niacin in larger than RDA doses will help induce sleep. Taking between 50 and 200 milligrams about 20 minutes before bedtime usually works best. The amount required varies a bit from one person to another. Ideally, you take the least amount that makes you the most sleepy. Expect to experience a brief niacin "flush" (like a hot flash or blushing sensation) which goes away in short time. The warm feeling is pleasant to most people, but may be avoided by simply taking less niacin at any one time. A bit of practice will tell you how much you need.

What does it mean if your face burns?
Are you taking niacin as a supplement, or are you taking peparations that contain niacin? You may be overdosing. Oddly, a typical sign of niacin overdose is the sensation of heat or burning in the face, and is called Niacin Flush. It can affect parts of the body other than the face. Either way, check what you are taking, and let your primary care physician know about the symptom. You may be overdoing other supplements without knowing it. Niacin Flush by itself isn't cause for alarm, but it can be very uncomfortable.

Is it bad to take niacin after it expires?
It is bad to take any drug after it expires. The effects of taking expired drugs can be quite drastic and your may need your stomach pumped you do so, Niacin is considered a supplement and not a drug. While the first responder is somewhat correct, the taking of expired niacin is not the most dangerous thing you could do. The greatest issue you have in this case is water absorption in the pill and a loss of potency. A month's supply of Niacin is under ten dollars from Amazon. I would recommend staying with the current pills to one's nearly so.
Is it safe to take niacin and milk thistle together?
Yes. Milk thistle has very few interactions. On the other hand, the mechanism of niacin's beneficial actions aren't well understood, but they seem to involve how it is processed in the liver. So if I were taking milk thistle and niacin, I would be inclined to take them a few hours apart, so that the liver can deal with the niacin without the milk thistle interfering...
