Side effects - Tricks to get to sleep

[HorseBucket]

Swim doesn't like taking Ritalin in the morning cuz it makes him drowsy for a few hours and doesn't wanna deal with the unholy crash while hes out and about. Instead he takes it 2-3 hours before he goes to bed and like this he avoids the crash and it leaves him with beneficial after effects the next day which is all he needs.

At first swim had no trouble sleeping but nowadays he does have a bit of trouble. He finds when the Ritalin is in full effect he can fall asleep easy but if he wakes when the effects are wearing off he can't get to sleep the rest ofthe night.

Can anyone share some good tricks to getting to sleep? Melotonin works sometimes but it takes a long time usually about 2 hours. He bought some bullshit in the pharmacy called rescue remedy which doesn't work at all. Alcohol seems to work like a charm the only problem is if he drinks a few bottles of beer to get to sleep he'll wake up needing to take a piss a few hours later. Thats all swims tried so far
