“After get off work, I scroll through my phone until 2am, feeling sleepy but unable to fall asleep”? You may not be procrastinating, but your rhythm may be disrupted

1. “ Looking tired, but unable to fall asleep when lying down : This is not laziness, but a misalignment of biological rhythms

In a healthy state, human sleep is coordinated by two major systems:

       Circadian system (melatonin regulation) : controls when you feel sleepy

       Wakefulness maintenance system (orexin regulation) : controls when to " stay awake "

Common factors affecting high-pressure working life:

       Work + commuting stimulates delayed melatonin secretion

       Continuous use of mobile phones and tablets after get off work causes blue light to affect sleepiness

       The pressure is not relieved and the arousal system is still in an excited state

📌 This means that even if you are physically tired, you are unable to trigger the " sleep start command " .

 

2. Suvorexant: It is not a sedative, but a scientific sleep-aiding mechanism that persuades wakefulness

Suvorexant is a type of orexin receptor antagonist ( ORAs ) with a completely different mechanism of action from traditional sleeping pills:

       It is not to forcibly calm the nerves, but to accurately block the awakening signal

       Turn off your brain before bedtime to naturally create a sleeping rhythm

       Does not affect cognition or cause morning sluggishness

       Can be used long-term or periodically without dependence ( Sun et al., 2021 )

Clinical data show:

       The average bedtime is 20 to 25 minutes earlier

       Reduce nighttime awakenings by more than 50%

       There was no decrease in attention and reaction speed on the second day ( Michelson et al., 2014 )

 

3. People who procrastinate on falling asleep: They need not only medicine but also habit adjustment

It is recommended that suvorexant be combined with the following interventions:
