I have a Xanax prescription - well the generic form, but it's the same drug. (legitimate, I have some issues that require it, luckily rarely)

Is it worth it to get an explicit "sleeping pill" rather than taking Xanax?

I sometimes use it at home when I am particuarly stressed to help sleep. I often feel groggy the next day, end up drinking coffee to get my work done, and then have a less restful sleep the next night. (This is even if I sleep a full 8 hours)

If I could find a medication with less next day that leaves me less groggy, I'd talk about it with my doctor.
