Hi, I can empathize with your friend's situation. Insomnia has ruined my life for the last 7 years. I have tried every sleep aid imaginable and only two have worked for me. The first one to work for me was trazodone and the other was remeron. Trazodone did and still causes hypotension for me and I would advise against it. It also really stops being effective after a couple months, at least that was my experience. Additionally, the withdrawal is horrible every time you decrease by 25 mg. Remeron, is the best sleep aid I've ever taken. I can't imagine it not working for someone. I took it for 6 months and it was amazing. At first, I slept like 10 to 12 hours a day for about a month until I got used to it. It was life changing for me, however I did gain 60 lbs. If your friend can control his or her cravings for food on it then it is truly the gold standard and I could not recommend it more. I hope that helps.
