Ok, sedatives add up and can kill you by stopping breathing. Methamphetamine is a stimulant it is VERY unreliable in counteracting sedative overdose. It might not work and it certainly is shorter acting than the sedatives.
BUT all of the fatal issues only occur with the drug actually being there. Alcohol wears off about 1 drink per hour and sedatives are nearly always gon in 24 hrs. So, with ONE drink in the morning, a sleeping pill 3 to 4 hours later mostly won't interact.
