Would Namaz be valid in this state? Can it be used if one is unable to sleep? Or can it be used sometimes when one wants to releive himself of worries?

If the sleeping tablets have bad and adverse effects then it should be avoided.

If he is not at all in his senses then he should repeat those namaaz.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
