Zopiclone is a prescription sleep medication classified under a group of drugs known as “non-benzodiazepine hypnotics.” It is specifically designed to treat short-term insomnia, helping individuals fall asleep faster and maintain uninterrupted sleep throughout the night. Unlike traditional sleeping pills, Zopiclone works by affecting specific chemical receptors in the brain that control sleep and relaxation, making it highly effective for those who struggle with sleep onset or frequent night awakenings.
