Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
It seems that you have a double issue at hand which is depression with insomnia. Often depression is actually the origin of insomnia. So I would suggest a medication which addresses them both, like an antidepressant with sedating properties. Amitriptyline or mirtazapine are two antidepressants which may be considered for that purpose.
I hope to have been of help.
