1. What you need is " rhythm restoration " , not " daily sedation "
Many cases of insomnia are not caused by the inability to fall asleep, but by:
• The brain is too active before going to bed, and the wakefulness system cannot be turned off
• Biological clock disorder, staying up late becomes a habit
• Excessive stress can cause temporary insomnia , which can be recovered after a while.
What is needed in this situation is: interrupting the wakefulness inertia for a period of time, assisting sleep, and re-establishing the rhythm .
📌 This is precisely the advantage of ORAs - they can be taken as needed to help with " transition " rather than permanent dependence.
2. ORAs : Suitable for the mechanism of " phased use and discontinuation after rhythm reestablishment "
Suvorexant, Lebrexant, and Darilexant are orexin receptor antagonists with the following mechanism of action:
• Inhibits the brain's OX1R/OX2R receptors , turning off the " stay awake " instructions
• Does not act on the GABA system and does not cause sedation or paralysis
• The sleep structure is intact and deep sleep is not disrupted
• No addiction, no tolerance, no rebound after stopping the drug
✅ Clinical research data:
• Sun et al., 2021 (Suvorexant) : No withdrawal or sleep rebound after 12 months of continuous use
• Ueno et al., 2022 (Lebrexan) : After 6 months of use, sleep rhythm was maintained and patients were able to fall asleep naturally after stopping the medication
• Muehlan et al., 2022 (Dalileisheng) : Daytime function did not decline in the discontinuation group, and sleep quality remained stable
📌 These studies collectively demonstrate that ORAs can be stopped, can be stopped with confidence, and can be stopped steadily .
3. Who is suitable for “ phased use ” of this type of drug?
• Those who stay up late for a long time and have a disordered rhythm, and want to " force themselves to adjust their work and rest schedule "
• Temporary stress insomnia, such as before exams, job changes, and early stages of childrearing, etc.
• CBT-I (cognitive behavioral therapy) assisted population, with medication to improve sleep rate in the early stage of treatment
• For those who suffer from intermittent insomnia, take it temporarily when insomnia occurs occasionally
• People who want to " restart the brain's sleep instructions " through medication, but do not want to rely on medication
4. How to use it scientifically and in stages? The recommended plan is as follows:

Taking medicine does not mean " dependence " ; staged sleep aid is a repair plan to help the body remember " when to rest " . ORAs do not provide a short sleep, but a stable rhythm reconstruction mechanism , allowing you to say goodbye to medication and return to the ability to fall asleep naturally without knowing it.
