"i&#039;ve been taking lunesta for almost a year and it has worked wonders for me. i make sure i take it on an empty stomach and i make sure i have at least 7 hours of sleep. i do get that weird taste in my mouth but i don&#039;t mind, it&#039;s really not that bad. i have a toddler and i am able to wake up in the middle of the night without a problem. if i do need to wake up in the middle of the night i am alert and then i am able to fall right back to sleep. overall i&#039;ve had a great experience."
