What's a gentle dose of valium to help sleep from time to time? just started lexepro for anxiety.

Ask your doctor: If you're being treated for anxiety with lexapro, (escitalopram) it will take a few weeks to work consistently. Your doctor is the best one to advise about any additional medication use, including valium. Using this for sleep would be off-label.
