Eszopiclone, sold under the brand name Lunesta among others, is a nonbenzodiazepine medication used in the treatment of short-term and long-term insomnia. It is one of the few FDA-approved hypnotic medications with a controlled substance designation that does not have restrictions on its length of use. Evidence supports benefits up to six months, with some studies suggesting similar efficacy after 12 months. It is taken by mouth.
