Okay, but be aware that the benzodiazepines are not great sleep meds as tolerance to their sedating effects builds quickly, often within a couple of weeks. They also make anxiety and depression worse by inhibiting the growth of new brain cells in the hippocampal regions of the brain just as stress hormones do and block the neurogenesis mechanism by which ADs work. See: Boldrini M, 2014; Nochi R, 2013; Sun Y, 2013; Song J, 2012; Wu X, 2009; Stefovska VG, 2008.
