That's a good point. Sometimes meds that allow us to sleep don't give us quality sleep and so we still feel tired and not very sharp during the day. Other times the meds themselves prevent sleep. It's so hard to get on an antidepressant that allows one to sleep well and doesn't interfere with daytime abilities.
