About

Lunesta is a medication that is commonly prescribed to treat insomnia, a sleep disorder characterized by trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. It belongs to a class of medications called sedative-hypnotics, which work by slowing down brain activity to help induce sleep.

When taken as directed, Lunesta helps to relax the mind and promote sleep. It is usually taken orally in the form of a tablet, typically right before bedtime.
