What is a sleep aid for parent with dementia?

Dr recently prescribed Quetiapine and Seroquel with the warning and side effects not clear why or what else to do to help him sleep? Wondering what other remedy to the problem others have been using and prescribed?

Aren't they the same medication? It seems to be prescribed a lot for sleep issues in those with dementia. It's worked well for those that I am aware of and helped my cousin. She takes a small dose at bedtime. I'd ask his doctor if you don't want to use that one.

I always found a glass of dry red wine works best of all. It's a lot healthier than taking drugs. One glass. Not the whole bottle.
