The sentence start with although so we know two sentence will be contrast to each other, so if we see the second part of the sentence we can see that abuse of these drugs results in a failure to induce the much-desired sleep so first part will be contrast of lake of sleep which means sleep inducing here only soporific means sleep inducing, so A is answer.

Soporific = Inducing drowsiness
Sedulous = Determined and hardworking
Coruscating = To showcase a stroke of brilliance
Debilitating = Damaging and weakening
Penetrating = To enter someting
Soporofic hence fits the best here.
