I have been taking a prescription sleeping pill every night for four or five years now. I don’t think sleeping under the influence of a drug is quality sleep and thus the fatigue the following day. I sleep 7-10 hrs per night. Once dependent on these drugs it takes larger doses to maintain the status quo. I’m trying hard not to let that happen. I am always falling into my deepest sleep just when it’s time to get up. I think sleep is a neurological state and MS is a neurological condition and the realms overlap.
