Both would add eventually a slight antidepressive to a polypharmacy.
In the end, all sleep agents have their end of life, for a number of people. There really is no true fountain of sleep, other than natural acclimation to a sleep pattern which may take a month, (e.g. no naps, excercise, etc.) But sometimes a sleep study can afford some knowledge for some people.Of course, as they say, your miles may vary.
The one caveat is stacking multiple sleep agents, it ends up not being the best idea and can increase the chance of respiratory depression.
