What to do if i have a hard time sleeping. what would happen if i abuse my prescription drugs?

Don't do it!: By "abuse", I assume you mean to take them in a way not prescribed eg more than recommended. Regardless of which (non)prescription you take w/o following directions, you run risk of side effects at best and death at worse. Somewhere in between might be addiction in the case of sleeping pills. I suppose even worse is you doing something & injuring/killing someone else while under influence. Don't.
