Gabapentinoids vs Benzodiazepines for anxiety and sleep?

[Kasumi]

So I've been taking anti-histamines for sleep so far and Benzodiazepines for anxiety occasionally.
However my current meds interact with anti-histamines and I don't think taking benzos more often is really ideal.

Does anyone have experience with Gabapentinoids, specifically Pregabalin in terms of sleep primarily?
I've heard mixed things for anxiety with them, but I still have Benzos for that when it's really bad so it's more about sleep than that.

both pregabalin and gabapentin have been show to increase slow-wave sleep. long term they'd be a much better choice than benzos or antihistamines.
