Answer 1

I will not answer this and no one else should either. I am sorry, but I fear when people come on here asking about why to things won't work especially drugs and such. I hope you are not attempting to harm yourself intentionally. Otherwise I see  no reason why you would come on here and ask such a silly question.

Answer 2

sleeping pills like barbiturates and benzodiazepines depress breathing as does alcohol. When the two are combined, even in normal doses it can cause a fatal respiratory depression. OTC sleeping pills should be okay to mix though as they are usually some type of antihistamine.

Answer 3

major head aches. ummm having problems sleeping..(you wont fall asleep..) having problems going to the bathroom...they are just a few
