Zopiclone

Definition: Zopiclone, sold under the brand name Imovane among others, is a nonbenzodiazepine, specifically a cyclopyrrolone, used to treat insomnia. While molecularly distinct from benzodiazepine drugs, Zopiclone's mechanism of action is similar, whereby it increases the normal transmission of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the central nervous system, via positive allosteric modulation at GABAA neurons. Zopiclone is considered a sedative and CNS depressant. source: Wikipedia
