Don't quote me on this bc I'm not completely sure, haha, but I feel like I read somewhere before that sleep with the help of drugs/alcohol isn't as good. Sleep has those different cycles which I think have various functions, and I think when it came to drugged sleep it dropped you down into a particular state and you don't go through all the cycles. Like I said I could be remembering wrong, haha, but it could explain why you feel more refreshed. And while I'm a proponent of taking meds when you need them, if you don't have any of the things that drug is supposed to help treat, then going off it was a good decision. No need to add additional chemicals to your body that you don't need.
