Double-blind Placebo-controlled Study of the Effects of Eszopiclone on Glucose Tolerance, Insulin Secretion, and Insulin Action in Adults With Chronic Insomnia
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Eszopiclone and Placebo for Sleep and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Available data suggest that obtaining adequate sleep is associated with a better ability of the body to use carbohydrates as a source of energy and a lower risk of developing diabetes. The sleeping pill, Eszopiclone (Lunesta), has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of people who complain of trouble falling or staying asleep. This study will examine the hypothesis that the use of Eszopiclone (Lunesta) to improve the sleep of people with insomnia may also improve the use of sugar in their body.
