What's your problem?
The first step to getting treated for insomnia is to better understand your problem falling asleep or staying asleep.
Here are 3 ways to get a better grasp of your own sleep problem and prepare you for discussing your symptoms with your healthcare professional. (Of course, your healthcare professional is the only one who can diagnose insomnia.)

This simple self-assessment can help you figure out if you do have a sleep problem and if your trouble is falling asleep or staying asleep or both.

Lunesta® (eszopiclone) is a prescription sleep medicine used in adults for the treatment of a sleep problem called insomnia. Symptoms of insomnia include trouble falling asleep and waking up often during the night.
LUNESTA acts quickly, so take it right before bed, and only if you have 8 hours to devote to sleep. Until you know how you will react to LUNESTA, you should not drive or operate machinery. Call your healthcare professional if your insomnia worsens or is not better within 7 to 10 days. This may mean that there is another condition causing your sleep problems. Walking, eating, driving, or engaging in other activities while asleep without remembering it the next day have been reported. Other abnormal behaviors include aggressiveness, agitation, hallucinations, and confusion. In depressed patients, worsening of depression including risk of suicide may occur. These risks may increase if you drink alcohol. Severe allergic reactions such as swelling of the tongue and throat occur rarely and may be fatal. Call your healthcare professional if you experience these or any effects or reactions that concern you. LUNESTA, like most sleep medicines, carries some risk of dependency. Side effects may include unpleasant taste, headache, morning drowsiness, and dizziness. For more information, please see the LUNESTA Medication Guide.
