I wonder what the lethality of chloroform on top of sleep drugs would be

Interesting question but I haven't a clue.

Acute responses from exposure at various concentration of chloroform in man have been reported to be: fainting sensation and vomiting from 4096 ppm; dizziness and salivation after few a minutes at 1475 ppm; increased intracranial pressure and nausea in 7 min; after-effects, fatigue and headache for several hours from 1024 ppm.

Responses associated with exposure to chloroform concentration below anesthetic or preanesthetic level are typically inebriation and excitation passing into CNS depression. Vomiting and GI upsets may be observed. Exposure includes respiratory depression, coma, renal damage, and liver damage as measured by elevated serum enzyme levels. [Clayton, G. D. and F. E.
