Lunesta (eszopiclone) is for sleep: Lunesta (eszopiclone) is for short term management of insomnia. Perhaps it can reset your sleep clock to sleep during regular societal hours of sleep. I would not advise taking this med more than 10 days. If you are still having sleep problems, a psychotopic med like mirtazapine or trazadone might be better --and these are approved for long term use. Lunesta (eszopiclone) is only for short term use.
