Hello,
I won't advise you for any sedative. But for the sleep, you can try hot milk prior to bed, try some exercise aerobic exercise could bring the sleep.
But taking a sleeping pill (sedative medicine) is not advisable because it has to be taken under medical supervision and should have some clinical evidence or indication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
