I'm very surprised that your doctor would prescribe 100mg to you. ESPECIALLY if it was your first time taking that medication. Most people begin at 25mg and this drug is often abused by patients.

MJ was given Propofol intravenously by his doctor on a nightly basis. That shit is for general anesthesia and is supposed to be administered with an anesthesiologist present to monitor the patient. Retard doctor injected him with the drug, left and came back to find him not breathing. Anyways, my point here is that Propofol isn't something anyone will be able to get at a local pharmacy.

As for your sleeping habits, I picked up a few tips from Psychology that have helped myself and others.

1. Do not keep a TV or any other electronics (other than cellphone of course) in your bedroom. These things all stimulate your mind and distract the normal sleeping cues your body gives you. There are also studies that show having a TV in the bedroom leads to less sex

2. Do not use your bed for anything other than sleep (and sex). By doing this, your mind and body are associating the bed with rest. When you do things like eat, study, etc on your bed, your mind is again being stimulated rather than shutting down for the night.

3. Try to avoid mind stimulating activities prior to sleeping. Instead, try to do things that you know will make you want to sleep; things that don't involve a lot of brain power. Counting sheep may sound stupid but it works for many people. Personally, I do things like clip my nails, studying () or even reading some lengthy posts by certain people who have long-winded arguments on RS
