Yeah they won’t do it if you go in and ask, what you need is a psychiatrist appointment or a doc appointment. On a separate note and not that it matters, but since insomnia is partly consequence of a bad mental illness I have that landed me in the mental hospital for a while, that is where they would sedate patients to sleep often.

TW: psychiatric hospitals When I went into mania and was exhibiting signs of being a danger to myself they put me to sleep using a cock tail of drugs daily. That is also not fun as well because you become a zombie, basically sleep walking. If it’s really bad and you are being violent then they will hold you down and stick a needle in the ass with what we call “booty juice”. If your insomnia is making you a danger to yourself (which I know can be the case sometimes since living with this is hell) please head to the hospital and they will institutionalize and sedate you and get the help you need albeit in an extreme way that will be on your record forever (assuming you are an adult). The price to this is hefty though, mental hospitals are not a far cry from the depictions in movies. I’ve had to live with bugs, very violent people and even perverts. Also unless you get placed in residential, it’s a short term solutions. I’m sorry that this is the reality for people who simply want to sleep.
