The best advice would be to **tell her to stop because it is a form of drug abuse.** Even if the cold medicine is non-prescription, using it to help her sleep can be dangerous and may lead to dependence or other health issues. It's important to address the underlying reasons for her sleep difficulties and consider healthier, safer alternatives. Encouraging her to seek professional help or advice from a healthcare provider would also be beneficial.
