A statistics question regarding correlation and regression?

A study is being conducted to find out the effectiveness of a sleep medication to treat insomnia. The results of this study show that there is a correlation between the amount of the medication taken and the length of sleep. Based on this data, can we say that the sleep medication was the cause of sleep? Please let me know why or why not... thanks.
