70 years old man with neuromuscolar disorder, diabetes melitus and having insomnia, what sedative do you suggest?

Massage therapy and: exercise w/docs ok may be more beneficial in the long run than a sedative. Chamomile tea is a good natural sleep aid. Melatonin can be helpful but check w/doc. Peace and good health.
