Gabapentinoids Baclofen dosage for sleep?

I occasionally use baclofen for this purpose. I either take 5 or 10 mg at bedtime when I do this. I'm also a nightly drinker, so I don't want to dose baclofen too high.
 
Baclofen really isn’t very good for sleep. It takes a good while to be fully active, and even then it’s not much of a sedative.

I was prescribed 20mg, 4x a day for years.
 
Baclofen is very short-acting. It may be (kind of) okay for inducing sleep, but certainly not staying asleep. Gabapentin would be far better as far as lesser-controlled GABA-B/adjacent substances go. Even tizanidine, clonidine's bastard cousin, would be better if alpha-2 adrenergic receptor agonists would be helpful. All purchasable. All I'll say.
