Which medications cause falling?
I recently fell and I think it's because my sleeping pills made me foggy. I read an article (https://www.seniorsafetyreviews.com/tips/5-biggest-causes-seniors-falling/) that sugested medications are a big risk fo falls, among other things.
My dillema is, I need to sleep, however I don't want to increase my risk of falling? Anyone have any sugestions?

Of course, it can be any of the things mentioned in the site above.
Balance can be a big cause as can things left around to trip over as well as failing eyesight, maybe if your sleeping pills are making you foggy you may need different ones.
I find that while in bed lying on my back that having a BIG stretch then relax and do some deep breathing helps a LOT also if you have something on your mind that is keeping you awake try having a radio or a TV that you can set up to turn off automatically --with whatever suits -- music or a program and that takes your mind off things
