Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that makes it difficult to fall asleep, stay asleep, or wake feeling refreshed. It may be short-term or chronic and can significantly impact energy levels, mood, and daily performance.

• Difficulty falling asleep
• Frequent waking during the night
• Waking up too early
• Daytime fatigue or irritability
• Poor concentration and low energy

• Stress, anxiety, or depression
• Caffeine, alcohol, or nicotine use
• Poor sleep environment
• Shift work or irregular schedules
• Jet lag or lifestyle changes

Zopiclone is a prescription sleep medication used in the UK for short-term insomnia treatment. It works by calming brain activity, helping you fall asleep more quickly and stay asleep longer throughout the night.

Zopiclone is generally prescribed for short-term use (typically 2–4 weeks). It is recommended when insomnia is severe and other non-medication approaches have not been effective.

• Maintain a consistent sleep schedule
• Avoid caffeine and alcohol before bedtime
• Create a quiet, dark, and comfortable sleeping environment
• Limit screen time before going to bed
• Practice relaxation techniques such as meditation
