They don't know when to wake you up. You have to be careful with the amount you take.

They have these minute sleep management people embedded in the pill. The pill dissolves slowly allowing them to swim through your blood stream into your head where they arrange themselves in a suitable church choir position and sing a sweet and dreamy lullaby, thus sending you into a deep and dreamless sleep. While you're asleep, they rifle through your memory files and giggle about all the silly stuff you've been doing for the past umpteen years. They may even have a glass of ear wax (or two). After a few hours, the sleep management people suddenly realise that it's about time they woke you up and gather in their singing stance once more. This time, depending on which memories they've been reading (good or bad) they will either use the 'Scream your Head Off' technique, which means that you will wake up with the most amazing headache. Or the 'Gentle as She Goes' approach, which allows you to awaken in a normal, rested manner.

I'll answer this question as if you are serious.
All drugs can be looked at using the principles of pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics. Pharmacodynamics means "what the drug does to the body" and pharmacokinetics means "what the body does to the drug".
The pharmacodynamics of sleeping pills causes you to become drowsy or unconscious. The degree of effect depends on a number of things, including the dose, your body weight, other drugs you may be taking, and your tolerance for the drug.
The pharmacokinetics of sleeping pills determines how long the effect will last. Your body breaks down the drug and the effects diminish. You wake up naturally when the effects of the drug are so low that they no longer make you sleepy. Pharmacokinetics are affected by many things as well, including the state of your liver and kidneys, other drugs in your system, and your age and general medical condition.
The short answer: Sleeping pills do not wake you up. They wear off.

They dont - all that happens is the effects of the drugs wear off over a period of time. Two people could take the same sleeping tablet at the same time and it would effect them differently due to people's metabolism's. One may sleep for 6 hours, another could be effected for 10 hours.

They dont, the body just deals with the drug which is responsible for making you sleepy and gets it out of the circulation. Thus you continue to sleep naturally until you wake naturally.

The sleeping tablets give you a rough idea of the effect
but this will vary from one person to another.

they dont.. they wear out over a certain time.. it takes about half hr to soak into your system and like any drug it wears off which when your body knows that is happening you wake up. Try google and search it up for more info
I hope this helps
