Helps in getting to sleep. Useful when anxious or in pain.

— In-game tooltip.

Sleeping tablets are a drainable item used in first aid.

Usage

Sleeping tablets are used to induce drowsiness, allowing the player to sleep earlier, therefore getting them into a different sleeping schedule. They are more useful when the player is in pain or anxious, as sleeping pills will allow them to fall asleep regardless of their level of pain or anxiety. Each packet can be used 10 times before exhausting them.

Sleeping

Main article: Sleep

Taking one sleeping tablet causes the first level of tiredness (drowsy) in around six in-game hours. Each subsequent level of tiredness (tired, very tired, exhausted) occurs shortly after.

Taking two sleeping tablets causes the second level of sleepiness (tired) in around four in-game hours. Each subsequent level of sleepiness (very tired, then exhausted) occurs shortly after.

Taking three or more sleeping tablets causes the third level of sleepiness (very tired) in around two in-game hours. The final level of sleepiness (exhausted) occurs shortly after.

Sleeping for any amount removes the fatigue boost from tablets, but not the fatigue itself.

Death

It is possible to overdose on sleeping tablets, being drunk reduces the number of tablets required to do that. Therefore, they should be used with care:

• Sober
  • Taking 10 tablets will cripple player's health by 40%.
  • Taking 11 tablets will cripple player's health by 80%.
  • Taking 12 tablets will lead to imminent death.
• Drunk
  • Taking 5 tablets while being drunk will cripple player's health by 40%.
  • Taking 6 tablets while being drunk will lead to imminent death.

It is an alternative to drinking bleach as a way of committing suicide.
