What can really help is to get the right quality and amount of sleep. Going by what I have read and meditated about this > I am not an expert, but possibly God has enlightened me; so I will offer >I don't think that one physical substance could reset your brain.
Sleep is an extremely complicated process. Different parts of the brain are involved. So, if you use only a chemical to help you go to sleep, by shutting you down, it is possible the drug is also shutting down, at least somewhat, the extremely complicated process of sleep. And God made sleep, and I can see how sleep is a miraculous process which can not go right except with God.
So, it is wise to pray and submit ourselves to God, in order to get the best sleep we can. I think it is good and wise to prepare for sleep by quieting down and getting clear of stuff which is of lust and fear and unforgiveness and other anti-love things, so we get the spiritual benefit which sleep can include and so this helps our physical process of sleep.
Because sleep, according to what I have read and meditated, is not only rest, but it is a process of removing all the built-up chemicals of the nerve endings which have accumulated during our active day. It is like getting all the empty envelopes and messages off of our work desk at the end of the day, so they don't get mixed up with all the mail coming in the next day. I think it could be like steam cleaning the message spaces between nerves, so the next day's new chemical messengers won't be mixed up with leftover stuff from the day before.
So, a drug is not going to make this happen. A drug possibly, in my opinion, can add to all the chemical stuff which has added up during the day in the brain messaging system.
Also, then, it is possible that bringing in a psychedelic substance . . . on top of what God has created quite capable of doing things right . . . could be helping to confuse things, of the sleep process as well as while we are awake.
But I have done things to mess myself up, over the years; so my sleep ability maybe has gotten messed up. So, I just offer myself to God, and do the best I can to at least stay on my bed and rest, even if I don't sleep. Don't fight with it, but be patient and be prayerful, and keep feeding this to myself. This in my case seems to be helping. And loving is good; love any and all people, and love can help everything lolololol
