I take gabapentin for insomnia. I've been battling insomnia for 30 years. Gabapentin is effective. If I'm having a bad night, I'll take .5 mg Klonopin(clonezepam) with the gabapentin and sleep really solid. I used to take Ambien, and Belsomra but would only sleep for 4 hours a night. While on Active Duty Army I was on Ativan(lorazepam), and it worked well, but can be habit forming.
