I think I need help, I'm really new to magick. Well trying to use it on my own anyways. I signed up last night and was looking for a nice beginner sounding spell. Well needless to say, I feel like it backfired.

I tried to cast a sleep spell on myself the other night. Not because I have serious sleep problems but because I wanted to see how much better I would feel rested compared to a normal nights sleep.

I'm not sure if it was my curiosity, my inability to let my mind rest or my immature use of magick. But I got virtually no sleep last night. Worst I've had in months in fact. I refuse to believe it's just coincidence. So I'm asking for help. Do you all think this sleep spell is too advanced for a beginner?

Here is the spell I used.
