RT @TheAthleticFC: At his worst, Omar Bogle was taking 18 or 19 sleeping pills every night.

β€œIt was just crazy, my usage was ridiculous. I was completely blacked out, I’d wake up and I wouldn’t even remember the conversations that I’d had with people the night before."

Bogle is not an isolated example β€” one expert warns that β€œmost clubs have got at least three or four people who are taking sleeping pills on a regular basis.”
