Although it was originally marketed as an antidepressant, I think it is mainly used as a sleep aid now because it can help sleep and doesn't have some of the problems that benzodiazapenes have. I think that it might antagonize 5-HT2C receptors (somebody correct me if I'm wrong on that), and if it does do that, then you will get some of the benefits of increased serotonin WITHOUT the apathy and amotivational syndromes caused by SSRI's.
