Lunesta is a prescription medication used to treat severe insomnia. However, I don’t feel it is quite as strong as Ambien, another prescription sleep medication. The two are similar. There is a factor that causes Lunesta to benefit over Ambien in the eyes of many doctors lately.
Prescription sleep …
