Human: is it possible to overdose on sleeping pills?

Assistant: You can indeed.  Sleeping pills make you sleepy, and take effect after about half an hour.  There’s also a group of medicines called Benzodiazepines, which make you sleepy, but take effect much more quickly.  (I’m not 100% sure what the difference is between Benzodiazepines and sleeping pills but I know that Benzodiazepines like valium can sometimes be dangerous if over-used.)
