Trazodone, mirtazapine, and paroxetine have very good sleep profiles.
Mirtazapine is an antidepressant that helps with sleep and appetite. 
The most well-known medications that aid with sleep include Remeron, trazodone, and Silenor. (Would first suggest the use of cognitive behavioral therapy that is specifically aimed at insomnia). These medications are helpful and non-addicting, but I always suggest getting an EKG prior to usage, and medically verifying that everything goes well with the medication that you are taking, including the vitamins and supplements, as well as your overall physiology.

It's an individual thing, so anyone of them might be sedative. Of course, Ambien is almost always effective with or without the antidepressant.
