Abstract

The present paper presents a review of the literature examining the efficacy of eszopiclone for treating insomnia. The purpose of the paper was to evaluate both the statistical and clinical efficacy of eszopiclone for treating insomnia. Both subjective and objective assessments of insomnia were evaluated across various sleep variables. Additionally, the efficacy of eszopiclone for treating insomnia comorbid with other conditions (sleep disordered breathing, psychiatric diagnoses, peri/post-menopause, rheumatoid arthritis), transient insomnia, and across diverse samples (adults, older adults, and samples pooled by race) was reviewed. Finally, the impact of eszopiclone use on daytime functioning was examined.
