Which Is Better- Placida Or Alpazolam For Sleep Problems?

Due to sheer work pressure I am having regular sleep problems. For last 10 days I am not able to get deep sleep. One of my doctor friend has suggested Mankind Placida as a remedy. Dosage - 1 tablet in the evening for 7 days. I am not able to understand whether to start Placida or stick to some alpazolam 0.5 mg tablets for a week. Please suggest about the same and also the side effects for placida as well as Alpazolam usage.
