Is it safe for a doctor to prescribe me anesthesia or chloroform since no sleep medicine works?

No: If you have a sleep disorder, you should speak with your pmd and get a thorough evaluation. Anesthesia is only used safely in the hands of trained professionals with the proper equiptment and medications.
