Restoril for sleep: Some meds: herbals melatonin, valarian(helps anxiety too), or medications like Ambien Lunesta, trazadone (anxiety too). Sometimes the underlying etiology is depression/ anxiety so meds like citalopram, Paxil , hydroxyzine reduce depression/ anxiety, and allow sleep to occur.Rarely Seroquel used for major depression in low dose 25 mg before bed can promote sleep. f/u /w /doc

Multiple new: medications such as Belsomra. Ambien and even use of antihistamines ( Benadryl ) along with a daily routine of exercise and healthy diet. No media or TV for 45 minutes before bedtime and consult prescribing physician for further evaluation including a sleep study.
