As a user of this whose primary problem is frequent waking at night rather than falling asleep, I don't find it that helpful. It does help falling asleep, but it doesn't help one stay asleep.

I've spoken with my sleep doctor about this and apparently basically the only thing that's good for helping somebody stay asleep as opposed to fall asleep is a common date rape drug so it's not commonly prescribed.

GHB

It really is too bad people misuse it like that. I've heard the sleep is insanely deep and refreshing and its a damn shame you're automatically sketch if you want that for your own benefit

That's the one. Very effective for people like me, but not very available.

I wish I could get diagnosed with narcolepsy so I could have it for that purpose, but it also sounds like an enormous bureaucratic headache and I also wouldn't want someone to be able to take advantage of that knowledge/the rarity with which its prescribed to get you sucked into some bullshit sitch.

Edit:

people like me [you]

u narcoleptic dude?
