The Lunesta does not really leave me "drugged" feeling. I take it around 9-10 pm and usually stay in bed until 6:30 or 7 the next morning. The worst side effect is an odd taste in my mouth but I've learned to work around that.

There are some good coupons available for Lunesta. I've had 12 mos with $0 copay--a whole year free! Pretty nice.
