Just curious, I'm new to this problem. Started having issues with falling sleep, staying asleep, and getting a full night's rest. Is this a common side effect of depression?

Yes, and the antidepressants can cause it too. Try listening to some white noise for a while after getting into bed. Sometimes a warm shower helps too...

Thanks, my psychologist told my neuro about the problems I'm having. One of my anti-seizure meds, Fycompa, can certainly be part of it. Neuro said I can lower my dose and see what happens. I have a virtual call with neurology on July 2. Going back to psychologist next Wednesday for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Meanwhile, psych is having me do Behavioral Activation, duing at least one hobby daily.
