It's Lunestra. It's a hypnotic drug Class IV. Similar to a benzodiazepine. Typically addictive. "Can't go to bed without it."

"While it acts on the BZ¹ receptor and is a short-acting hypnotic agent, it is not a benzodiazepine (with which it shares a number of characteristics and effects), but a cyclopyrrolone derivative, belonging to a novel chemical class which is structurally unrelated to existing hypnotics."

You might want to talk with your doctor about this.
