NCT02456532

Brief Summary

This proposal will assess risks for transition from therapeutic hypnotic use to abuse in people with insomnia. The investigators will study a hypothesized at-risk sub-population, insomniacs with hyperarousal, and compare two hypnotics, a drug with mood effects, eszopiclone, versus one without mood effects, zolpidem.
