There's a supplement called GABA (at any good health food store or GNC near you) which if you take three or four pills it will make you feel all warm and fuzzy and sleepy and you will drop right off. Powerful shit.

However: Your body becomes accustomed to it very fast. I find that it only works about three nights in a row, after which it does nothing for a month or two. So save it for when you need it.

The sleep you get is very refreshing but very brief. You'll probably wake up in about four hours feeling fully refreshed and ready to go. This can be inconvenient in the middle of the night.

Finally, there tends to be one very mild side effect, in the form of the faintest imagineable headache in your temporal lobes when you first wake up. It's no big deal and fades rapidly.

All usual warnings apply; this stuff is obviously doing some fairly major mojo with your brain chemicals, so play safe.
