Sedatives are used in several ways. For example, the anesthesiologist may order you a sedative before surgery. Some physicians order a light sedative before a CT scan if you have claustrophobia and are using the old-fashioned types that are very close to the face. And some physicians order sedatives if you have acute or chronic insomnia. It's up to the physician's discretion and decision making.
