The answer is complicated it depends on the medication and the person taking it.
My question is why do you want to know? I am guessing either you can't sleep and are taking too much already or you want to kill yourself. Go to your doctor either way and they can help you if you are honest with them.

Can intake of a heavy dose of sleeping pills kill a person?
Probably, but the answer isn't as clear as you might think. In the 1960's, the popular sleeping medications of the time were surprisingly lethal by themselves, and even moreso when mixed with alcohol. And the typical month's prescription was easily a lethal dose for most people. However, this class of medication is almost unused today, and is extremely rarely, if ever, used as a sleep aid. Modern sleeping medications are not typically acutely lethal in any reasonable dose. Most overdoses, in fact, result in a coma-like sleep, followed by a complete recovery. This is NOT to say it's okay or safe to overdose on these medications. It's just that the state of the art has improved, and it's quite unusual for an overdose of modern sleeping medication to prove lethal.
