Would you want to put to sleep every night by anaesthesiatic means? Personally, I would. Just think, you wouldn't have to sit in bed and try to go to sleep. No laying there thinking about the day. Just BAM -- and you're asleep. :confused:
What do you think?
While spending hours trying to get to sleep can be very irritating, I sometimes come up with really good ideas in the process, and I wouldn't want to lose them by going to sleep sooner.

If you find yourself unable to sleep read a book. I can't help feeling tired after 10 min.

I would... assuming there are no negative health risks and that I will always have some for the rest of my life.

Having "poopoo" in your screen name was a brilliant choice then...

While in paramedic training in hospital I put quite a few people to (temporal!!!) sleep - and honestly, I wouldn't recommend the procedure simply because you can't sleep 5 minutes after you lay down.
There are various risks to consider, one simply placing your body under a lot of stress - besides, have you ever been to a wake-up room?
There's puking everywhere (nothing which could happen in college, e.g. "mystery puke" etc.).
So, dude, hell no - that's a stupid idea (besides, every narcosis kills brain cells - one could actually turn dumber each and every day if you made that your daily routine).
All I know about anaesthetics was that my Grandad was an expert on them, and was one of the first western doctors invited into communist China so that he could show them all about it. Helped develop intraveneous anaesthetics, too , I think.

I had an operation just over a week ago. After waking up I spent the next two hours feeling extremely groggy. When I finally ingested something more substantial than water (and wow, it was a whole couple of mouthfuls of apple juice - nothing fancy) I puked my guts.
So personally I think you'd have to be insane to even consider using anaesthetic on a regular basis.

No. And if you cannot sleep, the correct way to handle it is to drink as much coffee your stomach can handle without you getting sick enough to puke. Then, sit in front of your computer, work yourself into a weird, hyperactive state of mind where you keep giggling maniacally for yourself, and do whatever you feel like until the morning. (if you feel this isn't enough, then in addition, eat loads of popcorn and candy, and drink loads of soda. oh, and don't forget to jump around in circles laughing evilly)

What do you think?
No.
(a) "Sleep" under anesthetic is not true sleep. Your body will not be rested afterwards.
(b) Anesthesia essentially turns off processes that normally go on while sleeping - like memory functions.
(c) Anesthesia is, itself, dangerous. It can kill you. It can cause brain damage.
(d) You wouldn't be able to wake up if the house was on fire.
(e) Symptoms other people mentioned.
(f) Getting addicted to it. ((And you would build up a resistance))
I could go on and on and on....
