Zopiclone is a member of the hypnotic drug class. It functions by reducing brain activity, which facilitates falling and remaining asleep during the night. In contrast to over-the-counter sleep aids, Zopiclone requires a prescription and is typically only advised for brief durations (typically no longer than two to four weeks) due to the possibility of tolerance and reliance. https://www.diigo.com/item/note/bhxfz/6kts?k=5d1095d7bd95f6c760c811ff57aa5437
