How do you fall asleep quickly instead of taking hours to do so?
Chronic insomnia has a number of mental, emotional, or physical causes, and you should consult a physician to see if there is an underlying condition. For this reason, you should not take non-prescription sleep medications. For ordinary sleeplessness, the usual cause is anxiety, where your conscious mind does not readily allow a subconscious or sleeping state. For most people, fatigue or exhaustion will rapidly trigger sleep, as will boredom or tedium (watching uninteresting television, for example). Another common cause for delayed sleep is the digestive process, which can prevent complete relaxation, especially if a meal is consumed shortly before bedtime.
Mixing alcohol with sleeping pills?
Always a bad idea. While the newer sleeping meds don't have the deadly synergy displayed in barbituates when mixed with ETOH, you're still mixing depressants that may interact. I'd suggest you quit drinking long before bedtime.
