It depends what you mean by “lots”. Caffeine itself is toxic in large quantities and “lots” could well be fatal (more than 30 cups in a short space of time would be enough, or just 30 espressos).

Similarly, overdosing on sleeping pills would also be fatal. And trying to counter an overdose of one with an overdose of the other would not have the effect of cancelling each other out.
