Abstract

Our patient presented with repetitive, self-limited bouts of forceful hiccups in sleep. Eszopiclone, a commonly prescribed hypnotic, appeared to cause these intermittent hiccups. This case is a reminder that eszopiclone may cause this adverse effect, and that it may be the bed partner and not the patient who furnishes critical sleep medicine history.
