Brief Answer:
may lead to increased drowsiness, difficult waking

Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There is a minor interaction between the two. They both can slightly increase the effect of the other by a synergism (working together to produce a combined effect)

This may cause increased drowsiness, confusion, dizziness. These effects do not occur in all persons but because you need to wake up pretty early, the combination may make this difficult to do so or you may have residual drowsiness on waking.

I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
