What Causes Severe Insomnia After A Stroke?

I have a client that can not sleep at night since she had a stroke several years ago. She has gone to sleep institutions and have tried several medication prescriptions given to her from her doctor. She does not know what to do. The only med that helped her (only because she had a bad rash ) was bentrill. (Wrong spelling) Can you clear up this mystery. She is also a survivor of the Holocaust. Can that be part of the problem? Thanks for your feedback.
