Is Respiratory Depression Possible If Trying To Sleep With Klonpin?

Hi. I know this is dumb and i'm not looking for judgement.. but I took 40mg of oxycontin about 5 hours ago, and about an hour ago took 1mg of klonopin to help me sleep. I am prescribed the klonopin and take it 3x daily at .5mg each time. So i have a high tolerance to the drug and needed a little more to sleep. Now i am worried that i might go into a respiratory depression if I fall asleep. The time release caps were taken off of the oxy's and so I'm wondering if I am able to fall asleep now, or how long I should wait to sleep. I'm not feeling high at all anymore, and would like to just fall asleep, but I am concerned about not waking up. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. And i know that what I did was dumb, but I wasn't thinking when I took my klonopin, so If you could bypass any judgement I would greatly appreciate it.
