One cause of death was especially increased. Among men, those who took sleeping pills 30 times a month had 7 times the risk of suicide! Women who took sleeping pills 30 times a month had 2 times the risk of suicide. Nevertheless, the suicides were only a small portion of deaths associated with using sleeping pills. Deaths from other common causes such as heart disease, cancer, and stroke were also increased among sleeping pill users.
Thanks for this, I've read stuff about this, so another legal drug that can cause harm if misused etc.
