Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM

I am sorry for your loss. It's common to have lack of sleep in deep sorrow. For sleep in such conditions drugs like low dose benzodiazepines can be used. Low dose Clonazepam or Alprazolam can help in sleep and will reduce anxiety. These drugs are prescription drugs and you should take with proper prescription only.

OTC drugs like Nyquil or Zzzquil can also be used for sleep.

Thanks, take care
