I'm not sure how I would compare the strenght of Lunesta and Klonopin.
For me Lunesta has been great for occational nights I can't fall asleep or when I need to be certain that I'm well rested the next day.
The klonopin does help me sleep, but I take it specifically for anxiety. I don't think the Lunesta does anything but help me sleep. I don't feel tired in the morning if I take Lunesta and I don't feel it knock me out when I take 3mgs at night to sleep. But I always take it when I'm in bed.
Sometimes I'll take the klonopin an hour or so before bedtime it doesn't really matter. I feel a suttle relaxation from it, not a rush. There have been times where I needed to stay up hours after my 2mg night dose of klonopin and I was fine, functional. I'm not sure what would happen if I did the same with Lunesta. They say to take Lunesta "at bedtime."
I know this med stuff isn't the same with everyone, just my experience.
