Zolpidem is a member of a family colloquially known as a "Z-drug." Other Z-drugs include [[zaleplon]] (''Sonata'') and [[zopiclone]]. These drugs were initially thought to be less addictive and/or habit-forming than benzodiazepines; however, this evaluation has shifted somewhat in the last few years as cases of addiction and habituation have accumulated.{{citation needed}} Zolpidem is recommended to be taken on a short-term basis only. Daily or continuous use of the drug is not usually advised.
