taking a lot of benzodiazepines will cause dependence and tolerance that is you may need to take the drugs regularly and in much more dose so it is advised that you may take a z drug, zolpidem for your sleep problem and dont take it for more than 2 weeks as after that it may be tapered down.please do consult a psychiatrist or a sleep specialist to rule out other causes of difficulty in falling asleep
