taking your supplements wouldn't hurt and might help, even with the originating problem being sleep-deprivation.

sleep deprivation places additional stress on the body in general. accordingly, your b requirement is probably higher than usual.
magnesium alone will not work if there is a deficit in a complementary nutrient.
taking supplements (yours provide the b's and other complementary nutrients) should help you during the day and should improve your sleep quality, when you do sleep.

Vitamin B deficiency manifests itself in neurologic disorders, and thus, in sleep problems and muscle weakness. Vitamins B12 or B6 can also help in the therapeutic plan for depression.
...
Other studies suggest that vitamin B12 may maintain the homeostasis of sleep and/or wake cycles, improve the sleep quality and increase alertness in a work environment.
Sleep deprivation has been associated with a reduction in niacin .... for those individuals who lack appropriate sleep hours, a dose of niacin could help alleviate potential problems.

this article focuses on single vits, but remember, the b vist work together and require other vits/minerals as well. so the multivit is a good integrative solution.
preferably, take the supplements during the daytime - say with lunch meal, not shortly before going to bed.
i wish you the ability to sleep more.
