You didn't mention whether you are a primigravida or a multigravida and whether you faced similar problems during previous delivery . To my knowledge there are no specific medicines to put you to sleep. Usual medicines like Alprazolam or Clonazepam help in 99% of the cases. Another thing is that you should tire yourself in the daytime so that you are already sleepy when you hit the bed. After that the usual precautions like having dim light in the bedroom, no TV, no cellphone, have a glass of milk half an hour before going to sleep.

Post-partum sleeplessness is common. Avoid self-medication incase if your breastfeeding. Medicines only after doctor advice.
Next Steps
Consult Gynaecologist/Psychiatrist to rule out thyroid, anemia, anxiety or PPD.

Sleep should not be dependent on medication A tired body will fall asleep easily You should try yoga meditation n exercise first before considering medication Also you need to understand that any medication that you take will be transmitted to the baby as well You can avoid sleeping in the afternoon so that you get a good sleep in the night
