Eszopiclone: A Safe and Effective Sleep Aid for Older Adults?

This research investigates the potential residual effects of eszopiclone, a commonly prescribed hypnotic medication, on the physical and cognitive functions of healthy older adults. The study uses a randomized, double-blind, crossover design to compare the effects of eszopiclone and placebo on various measures of physical and cognitive function. The results suggest that eszopiclone, at a dose of 1 mg, is unlikely to cause significant adverse effects on physical or cognitive function in healthy older adults, although further research is needed in individuals with insomnia.
