A member asked:

What is the best combination of sleeping pills to take if i want to sleep for 12 hours?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Advice: I do NOT like combinations of sleeping pills, as these are potentially harmful, especially if you have a sleep disorder. Instead, might try Benadryl, (diphenhydramine) very safe, or Melatonin, 3 mg,, also very safe.
