Personally I'd recommend a drug called zopiclone at a dose of 3.75mg at bedtime which can be increased to 7.5mg if you find this isn't working. Alternatively, your doctor may think it's more appropriate to prescribe diazepam starting at 2mg at bedtime, however this has the tendency to cause extra groggyness in the mornings. Both of these drugs will "mellow you out" making it easier to drift gently off to sleep ;) Hope this helps.
The average dosage of sleeping pills can vary depending on the specific medication and individual factors. Common dosages range from 5-10mg for medications like Ambien (zolpidem) and 5-15mg for medications like Restoril (temazepam), but it is important to follow your doctor's prescription and guidance for the correct dosage.
It would depend on what type of sleeping pill it is. The dosage is different for every pill.

Benadryl is not a sleeping aid and should never be taken as a sleeping aid.
Any Dose
probably some type of OTC sleeping aid with not a high dosage.
You might as well make a poisonous gas; it's easier and it's almost certainly going to turn out the same way in the end anyway. "Sleeping gas" is a staple in certain kinds of fiction: some odorless, colorless gas that causes people to fall deeply asleep and wake up unharmed later. The reality is that any gas that can put people to sleep can also kill them, and the difference in dosage between unconsciousness and death can be surprisingly small. This is why an anesthesiologist monitors the entire surgery when a patient is given a general anesthetic; the dosage needs to be carefully adjusted based on the patient's vital signs at any given moment in order to keep the patient both unconscious and alive.
Overdose
Sleeping for four days straight would mean death. It is very dangerous to consume more than the recommended dosage of sleeping pills. If you have a real sleeping problem you should consult your doctor.
The therapeutic dosage is the amount of a therapeutic agent which causes the therapeutic effect. This is prescribed by qualified therapists for varied conditions.
The maximum safe dosage for the average adult is 325mg.
Answer: Trazadone reacts differently on different people, and in some, it acts as a strong sleeping aid. As with other sleep aids, such as Ambien, it can cause somnambulance- (walking or activity while you are asleep.) Usually, people don't remember unless someone tells them, or they find evidence of nighttime activity! Use caution and reduce dosage after consulting your primary care physician.
