A little background:

I moved out from my parents house into an apartment on a busy road. I was not used to the traffic so I couldn't sleep at night because of all the noise. The only thing I could think to do was drink alcohol so I'd fall right to sleep.

I then moved to my current house, which is near a busy railroad track, and have the same problem. When I go to sleep sober my heart seems to pound no matter what, this keeps me awake along with the trains that go by frequently.


I know drinking every night just so I can fall asleep fast is bad for me so I want to quit, but I don't know what else to try. Does anyone else have any opinions??
