Olanzapine might not have been started only for sleep disturbance. Clonazepam will help sleep but if there is any other issue for which olanzapine was preferred over clonazepam, it will not address that.

Hi sir, Olanzapine and Clonazepam are different classes of medicines. Olanzapine is an antipsychotic and Clonazepam is a benzodiazepine used for sleep issues, anxiety etc. Therefore, one medicine cannot be replaced by the other.
Kindly consult a psychiatrist to undergo complete evaluation and optimization of medicines
