FYI: Lunesta (eszopiclone) is, for all intents and purposes, zolpiclone (I wonder if the name was intended to mean "clone of zolpidem"). Eszopiclone is the active stereoisomer of zolpiclone, so 7.5mg of zolpiclone = 3.75mg of eszopiclone.

Wikipedia article.

Of the three z-drugs (not including extended release forms like Ambien CR), zopiclone lasts the longest.
