Trimipramine is the only tricyclic that I am aware of that improves sleep architecture. It does not decrease REM sleep. It had been used as a sleep aid when tricyclics were more popular.Of the "Z" drugs, zopiclone is most apt to interfere with sleep-dependent cortical plasticity, which is necessary for learning and memory consolidation. Perhaps this is why it is more likely to produce anterograde amnesia. I'm not sure, though. I have seen more people taking eszopiclone than zaleplon.
Does Zanaflex have hypnotic properties?
