I think/hope that the key might be: "clinical trials show that it can be taken for extended periods of time without significantly increasing the chances of addiction."
Since ADs frequently take 4 or more weeks to start working, we can now, for the first time, see if long term use of a sleep medication might help depression. Maybe augmenting an existing AD, or, even better, as monotherapy for depression.
