Like all the benzodiazepines (BZDs) alprazolam may be sedating to some degree. Tolerance to the sedation tends to build fairly quickly when taken daily, often within a couple of weeks which is why BZDs are generally not good 'sleeping' pills. Maybe take only half a tablet the first time to see how it affects you.
Have you also been prescribed fluoxetine, or another AD?
