Should be really tired, especially after the long hike I took earlier to go mushroom-picking, but am wide awake. Did fall asleep for a few hours after taking my antiseizure med plus a backup dose of the longer acting benzo that I have a script for (nitrazepam/mogadon, two tabs of that put me right out when beside the chlormethiazole (the antiseizure stuff, off label/license for that as it is, it works, and doesn't have much tendency towards causing any really awful physical dependency as drugs of its class often do, when used at the doses I take it at, so despite not being indicated in the BNF for that purpose, I chose it myself, for just that reason, that and the way it works so quickly it can shut down impending/starting trouble within minutes. IMO never mind the official NHS policy on its specific licensed uses, if it benefits the patient and does so better than the alternatives then whatever it might be, should be used in spite of whatever might be written down about a med)
