Normal Sleeping...

As for drinking alcohol ... you don't necessarily have to get drunk ...
I find that if I drink a bottle or two of Smirnoff Ice ... or I had gone to visit my bartender friend E and had a drink or two ... I fall asleep earlier than usual.

My sleeping pattern tends to get fairly messed up during the holidays, so when it reaches the point where I'm going to bed at 3-4am, and waking up at like 12-1pm, my usual tactic is to just do an all-nighter. Stay awake all night, and all the next day, then go to bed at a reasonable time the next night. Guaranteed to get plenty of sleep that night, and fixes your sleeping pattern so you'll begin to feel tired again around bedtime. It always works for me, though I expect different things probably work for different people.

Yeah, I find a single pint of beer makes me sleepier than if I drink a lot. After 2 or 3, I tend to feel more awake, not less. It probably depends what it is you're drinking though; a pint of real ale is guaranteed to help you fall asleep, but a couple of shots of vodka will have the opposite effect.

It used to take hours for me to fall asleep, when I take melatonin it takes me around half an hour and I sleep straight through to the morning. No side affects except for awesome vivid dreams fairly often D:

Years ago, when I worked nights, I used to take melatonin, too, and it had a similar effect on me -- it helped me fall asleep more easily and came with really weird dreams, although in my case, I slept a lot lighter than normal. I tend to talk in my sleep and/or thrash around a lot, though, so stuff that makes me sleep lighter is not really a good idea for me. Thankfully, at least I haven't fallen out of bed in years.

Take sleep pills or drink large amounts of alchohol.

I also try to avoid drinking anything an hour or two before bed; if I don’t go to the bathroom right before going to sleep, sometimes the need to go will either wake me up during the night, or it won’t, and I’ll sleep more uncomfortably during the night.
That’s pretty much everything I can think of at the moment.

Did you have an accident or something?
OP:
These folk are correct, though. I'd lean away from the whole 'drinking' thing, but there is some good advice here.
