It might be more beneficial to your health to instead see a sleep specialist and find out if you have a sleep disorder vs. taking an anti anxiety meds that will make you sleepy. These types of meds are not recommended for older adults for the purpose of sleep. The side effects can be worse than the reason for taking it.

I had four sleep studies, I had severe sleep apnea. I tried three kinds of machines and four different kinds of masks. The noise of the machine kept me awake and all the masks cut into my face. I gave up on that and then found that I could have an operation to help me. The UPPP , my tonsils were removed and I don't have sleep apnea now.
