"ten years ago i developed terrible insomnia.  i am a lawyer, and getting 2-3 hours of restless sleep a night nearly ruined me.  i was first on ambien, which never gave me real rest. eight years late, i am still taking 3 mg of lunesta every night.  i sleep 7-8 hours every night.  i have never developed a tolerance to it, never had sleepwalking or other issues.  in fact, on lunesta, i dream!  my sleep cycle is pretty much normal. this has given me ten years of steady sleep, with no real side-effects.  when i go off it for a night or two, i have no major rebound issues. lunesta has literally given me my life back, and the confidence i will sleep every night."
