I take 1/2 to 1 zopiclone a couple of times a week. everyone once in a while, like tonight, I take one and have no effect within 2.5 hours, I keep waiting for my typing to get slow and full of mistakes, to lose my games on facebook, and can't keep my eyes open, and it doesn't happen. I just took a 2nd one. why don't they work oaccaisionally? Sugar pills in the mix?
I took a 7.5mg zopiclone 2 hours ago and I'm wide awake. a half takes 30 mins, why isn't it working?

When you take a sleeping pill you are supposed to go right to bed, not work on the computer. Its one of the worst thing you can do because the light from the screen causing you to not secrete melatonin which is needed for sleep. You need to go to bed in a totally dark room and stop watching a clock and saying I'm not sleeping yet. Zopiclone is supposed to be used short term and isn't going to work if you keep taking it either.
