There are 3 major types of sleeping pills, the oldest is phenobarbital which is rarely used due to the potential of lethal overdose. The second is the benzodiazipem (Valium) class which is difficult to OD on but is very habit forming. the third is the newest - Ambien, Sonata and Lunesta. All are made by combining certain chemicals and compressing them into pill form. the actual ingredients, amounts and and order of combining them I don't recall since it has been 15 years since I studied Organic Chemistry. Hope this helps.
