All cause mortality of getting 5 or less hours of sleep a night is also about 2X though, and along with the mortality risk comes a massive decrease in quality of life. Obviously non-medical methods should be tried first (When I was having major issues with sleep I was able to get it under control with the help of a specialized therapist), but for someone who is having serious issues sleeping the pills can be the lesser evil.
