Accepted Answer

Not a good idea: Halcion is triazolam, and Restoril is temazepam.  Both are benzodiazepine sleeping pills.  Their effects are very similar — Restoril lasts longer — and would add together if taken at the same time.  It is considered poor medical practice to take multiple medications that do the same thing: the results are less predictable and more drug interactions can result.  Both meds are habit-forming too.
