Hello steveruba. I would suggest trazodone. Its an anti-depressant that is more often than not prescribed for sleeping. Little side effects, non habit forming, and it will not interfer with the bicalutamide. You might ask his doctor or pharmacist to confirm or get thier opinion. I took it for some years, and it helped me untill my body built an immunity to it. Best wishes,
