Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

Valium, if taken occasionally, is safe and can be used for sleep. However, it is a habit forming drug with a high risk of addiction potential. So, it should not be used on a regular basis or for a long time.

Good medicines for sleep include zolpidem.

Headaches should also be evaluated and treated.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
