Brief Answer:
One may aggravate the effect of another. Otherwise not something to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
Since both the medicines are sleep inducers, there is only a very minor possibility of drug interaction. However I do not consider it something worth concern. The following link:
