Hi,

Zopiclone is a type of medication called a non benzodiazepine hypnotic. It acts in the brain to aid sleep by increasing the activity of a neurotransmitter called GABA in the brain. Neurotransmitters are the chemical mediators which convey messengers between nerve cells in the brain. Zopiclone can be taken as a sleeping pill to get relief from insomnia. It helps someone falls asleep more quickly and also helps stop someone waking up during the night.

But, Zopiclone can affect your recent memory, especially if you don't go to sleep just after taking it, or if your sleep get interrupted due to any cause. Make sure that you can get seven to eight hours of uninterrupted sleep if you are going to take Zopiclone. For this reason, you don't need to take Zopiclone every night. Only use Zopiclone if you have to. Without using Zopiclone, try to fall asleep first and then take Zopiclone if you stay sleepless after trying.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
