Better ways: There are much better ways to help yourself fall asleep. Melatonin, a popular herbal, over the counter preparation can be very effective. I would also seriously seeing your primary care provider for advice as well. Some sort of cognitive behavioral therapy, or other sleep aid may be appropriate. Hope this helps!
