Explanation:

Zaleplon is a sedative - hypnotic. Abruptly stopping such medications can lead to rebound insomnia, where the insomnia symptoms return or worsen more than before starting the drug. Confusion, somnolence (drowsiness), and cognitive impairment are more likely side - effects during the use of the drug rather than due to abrupt cessation.

Answer:

Rebound insomnia
