I am also prescribed Risperdone off-label at bed time to help treat atypical depression and Narcolepsy. Also it may be helpful for me to stabilize attention seeking behavioral impulses associated with Aspergers. Risperdal appears to help me achieve a deeper sleep at night, and with a low dose, allowing to make me feel more awake during the day. GHB or Zyrem is the medication that really is approved to support this idea, however I do not meet the strict requirements set aside with the FDA on getting it prescribed. I am thinking about abilify at low doses because it may do like the Risperdal at night, but further improve depressive and motivation symptoms during the day.
