Brief Answer:
Yes it is ok

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your query I understand your concern but there is nothing to worry about I will explain...
1. tablet propranolol 20 MG you are taking is for profile excess of your migraine headache, means it prevents you from developing recurrent episodes of headache by modifying different brain pathophysiology.
2. tablet maxalt 10mg is for acute treatment of episodes of migraine like you developed and you have taken to tablet of maxalt today.
3.maxalt has slight side effect of sleepiness that is why you are feeling sleepy but there is nothing to worry about you can take your tablet propranolol as it is during night so nothing to worry about.
take rest and don't take stress.
hope your query got answered.

thanks and regards
Dr Diwashish.
