> Intresting, I posted some studies a while back that indicated Lunesta did not change time spent the stages 3 & 4.The studies I read were meant to check the veracity of those claims--which come, I believe, from drug company-funded studies. I remember specifically that, in this particular study, it was not all bad--Lunesta increased stage 4 sleep in the second 150 minute segment of sleep, but almost completely removed stage 3 sleep during the first 150 minutes.
Ambien and temazepam are also claimed to prevent sleep disruption, but again, according to what I've read, these claims to not seem to be reproduced by independent studies. That doesn't seem to prevent the marketers from continuing to claim this is the case, though. I've been disappointed with Lunesta, myself. It knocks me out, but doesn't seem to provide very restful sleep.
