Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
Dramamine is used to treat motion sickness and isn't supposed to treat insomnia but it can give drowsiness and sleepiness.
It is relatively safe to take for insomnia.
It doesn't cause addiction or withdrawal symptoms but you may get used to it and you may need it every night.
You can try melatonin for insomnia found over the counter.
