Clonidine is sometimes helpful for evening irritability while on stimulants (and for AD/HDers in general). It also helps with sleep and doesn't have a terribly long half-life, which I think is important when taking sedating agents if you have AD/HD. Clonidine has an added benefit of not being a benzodiazepine.
Sonata is a short-acting sedative just for sleep. I've taken it on ocassion the help me fall asleep easier with no extra morning slowness.
The best thing for me, though many will not like it or be able to do it, is to deprive myself of sound (earplugs), use absolute minimal lighting or none at all, and meditate...very soothing.
Best wishes,
