The best test would be doing a double-blind test between the person who is receiving the medicine so that they don't know if they received a placebo or not and the person giving the medicine does not know if the participant is receiving a placebo or not.

However, a placebo test can simply be done. This is where the patient received a medicine that does not have any medicinal effects and see if the person sleeps better. If they say they did, they have fallen under the placebo effect.
