On topic, literary accounts of chloroform always involve evil hangovers, and I've never heard of it being used recreationally outside of this thread. It's pretty difficult to find an effective emergency sedative that won't leave you feeling like shit in the morning, or at least a little groggy. If you're benzo-naive, you might try experimenting, in non-emergency situations, with either traditional benzos or zopiclone, and see if they leave you hungover (or with a foul taste in your mouth, in the case of zopiclone). If you haven't used/abused downers regularly, you may be able to get by on a therapeutic dose of zopiclone, valium or xanax - but try them out before you risk use in an emergency situation. Back in college, I used to rely on alcohol + weed to sleep, then take dexedrine and several glasses of ice water to get me through the hangover, but that wasn't exactly healthy, though I did get a good degree. Pharmaceutical sedatives tend to come in two doses - not enough and too much - and I'd be real careful about using them before exams. You might be better off going into an exam after a sleepless night than groggy from sleeping pills. Of course, there's always the option of knocking yourself out with a benzo and dealing with the hangover via Ritalin or Adderall, but again, that's not best of habits to get into. If you're going to try and use drugs of any kind functionally, make sure to test them first in circumstances where you
don't have to function.
Any sedative that's used in aneasthesia is probably a bad idea, with the possible exception of Midazolam, if you can find it: very short half-life, and without benzo tolerance, a low dose, like 7.5mgs, will knock you out pretty quickly, and wears off long before you wake up. But benzos are to be treated with great caution and respect - used occasionally, they can be a Godsend. Taken habitually, they're a quagmire, one that I'm still stuck in. Solvents are best avoided, barbiturates hard to find and prone to cause next-day grogginess, while newer drugs with sedating properties, often used as anti-depressants (Seroquel, Trazodone, Remeron), can all have weird and nasty side-effects. Find the mildest sedative that works for you, and take a few trial runs to make sure it doesn't impede next-day performance. Also, 'emergency use' could be a bad idea if if means 'okay, it's 3am, I have to be up at 7, better take a pill' - if you're going to take a sedative and need to function the next day, then plan ahead and take it early. And if you have no experience with sedatives, then start by trying the herbals - Valerian, Kava Kava - and OTC anti-histamines. Doxalymine succinate is pretty effective if you're njot a regular user of downers, and leaves much less of a morning after mental void than diphenhydramine. Melatonin's also worth a try - it can leave you reluctant to get out of bed, but once you're on your feet and get the circulation flowing, a little caffeine and you're firing on all cylinders. Very hit and miss, though - some swear by it, and some get no effects from it at all. It's a trial and error process, finding a sedative that works for you without rendering the next day a zombie haze. Chloroform is definitely the wrong direction: though it occurs to me that if you can trust yourself not to abuse it (and never use it with alcohol), GHB might be worth trying - again, it's very short-acting, so you don't have to worry about sleeping through the alarm. Herbal sleeping pills are generally a waste of time, but strong Valerian tea does work, in the absence of benzo tolerance: but most people need about ten teabags steeped in a pint or so of water for ten minutes to get any noticeable effect, and it smells and tastes like vomit. Pinch nostrils, glug, and chase with something sweet.
