Effects of Sertraline on sleeping pattern

I've been taking 50mg of Sertraline now for 2 weeks. Since being on the drug I've been unable to sleep properly at night yet often spend periods during the day when I do nothing but yawn. I'm worried that lack of sleep will compound the issues that Sertraline was prescribed to alleviate.

Has anyone else experienced similar side effects?
