Unrested for flight, or take a sleeping pill?

I find that since majority of the users are very active on this side of the forum, and many are very experienced in the industry, it would be a good place to ask this question.

Like many, I struggle with sleep. Oddly enough, I prefer flying all night, I hate waking up early, and actually am unable to sleep early at night even when I am tired.

Which is healthier for the body? To get a few hours of sleep, wake up early being not well rested, complete my flight and catch up on sleep the following night? OR to take a low dose of a sleeping pill or equivalent, and sleep well that night for the early morning flight?

Your opinions and advice are much appreciated.
Thank guys
