Brief Answer:
Benzodiazepines can be used on SOS basis for sleep.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

I am sorry for your loss. Due to significant stress, you are not sleeping well. Medicines like benzodiazepines can be used for sleep in your case. Clonazepam, Alprazolam, Lorazepam etc., are commonly used. The drugs will reduce significant anxiety and stress and will aid in sound sleep.

However, these drugs should be used for short term only. Regular use is known to result in dependence. OTC drugs like Benadryl can be used for sleep too but are not very potent.

You can talk with your doctor about these drugs.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thank you. Take care.
