Zaleplon
This non-benzodiazepine sleep aid is prescribed for the short-term treatment of insomnia, specifically to help people fall asleep faster. It works by binding to GABA receptors in the brain in a way similar to benzodiazepines, producing a calming, sleep-inducing effect. Its very short duration of action means it is less likely to cause next-morning grogginess, but complex sleep behaviors (such as sleepwalking) have been reported.
