Hi thanks for contacting healthcare magic.
Because of breast cancer you have stress induce sleep disorder.And that is the readon for insomnia.
Yes zopiclone is safe drug for insomnia with no dependency.So for the short term use it can taken.
meanwhile try to avoid stress.
Do some regular physical activity and mild exercise.
Yoga and meditation is helpful.
Avoid heavy meal at night.
milk can be taken.
After dinner go to sleep after 2 hour.
Go to bed before 11 at night.
If you have still much anxiety then for short term alprazolam like antianxiety drug can take ....
Take care ..
