hey guys im looking for some suggestions on what drugs actually knock you out - im not just talking about regular sleeping pills but stuff that really forces you to fall asleep if that makes sense. i tried baclofen a while back but i really need something stronger where i just black out and go to bed.
does anyone know of some good options that arent impossible to find? i’m just tired of laying there for hours i need something that actually works fast so let me know what you guys have used that really does the trick
Talk to a doctor first, if insomnia is bad enough you want to “black out,” a clinician can give you safe options that fit your health history.
Over-the-counter sleep aids like antihistamines (diphenhydramine, doxylamine) are common and generally accessible, but they make a lot of people groggy the next day so you gotta be careful.
Melatonin or magnesium not “knock you out,” but many people notice they fall asleep faster with them if taken at the right time.
Routine + environment dark room, cool temp, no screens before bed can actually make a huge difference, way more than most expect.
Avoid stimulants late caffeine or heavy sugar late in the day can mess up the ability to fall asleep faster.
yeah i feel that frustration but chasing something that makes you black out is kinda sketchy, might be worth talking to a doc and dialing in sleep basics first bc forcing it can backfire hard
