"My sleep problem is not just that I can't fall asleep, but that I stay awake all night in anxiety" - This type of drug is really effective

1. Anxiety-related insomnia: Your brain is working overtime at night

The most typical symptoms of anxiety-type insomnia include:

       Difficulty falling asleep: The more you want to fall asleep quickly, the more awake you become

       Shallow sleep, frequent dreams, and frequent night awakenings

       Every time I wake up at night, I have racing thoughts, even palpitations and irritability.

       Sleep becomes a " psychological burden " , and the next day is worse

📌 This is not a mental problem, but an overactive arousal nervous system (orexin pathway) , which keeps you " alert " at night and prevents you from entering deep relaxation and restoration.

 

2. Why are traditional sleeping pills " useless " or even " worse " for you?

Traditional sleeping pills (such as diazepam, zopiclone, zolpidem, etc.) work by activating GABA-A Receptors achieve a sedative effect. Although it can quickly make you " fall asleep " , common problems for anxiety-type insomnia include:

       The body is calm, but the brain is still working anxiously

       It is easy to disrupt the deep sleep structure ( N3 stage), and the fatigue after sleeping is stronger

       Tolerance and dependence, anxiety + fear of drugs double pressure

       Rebound insomnia after stopping medication, causing psychological trauma

What you need is not to " black out " your memory, but to let your brain truly learn to " shut down " .

 

3. ORAs : Not painkillers, but sleep tools that regulate the system

Orexin receptor antagonists ( ORAs ) such as suvorexant, leborexant, and darilexant do not act on the GABA system and do not directly provide sedation, but instead:

       Inhibits wakefulness signaling ( OX1R/OX2R )

       Gently reduce brain alertness

       Let you enter the physiological state of " sleep " on your own

       Can preserve normal sleep structure and maintain deep restorative sleep

📌 Research confirms that:

       Sun et al., 2021 : No rebound anxiety or insomnia after long-term use of Suvorex

       Muehlan et al., 2022 : Dalelesin can effectively increase the proportion of deep sleep and does not affect cognition the next day

       Ueno et al., 2022 : Lebrosin showed the advantages of faster falling asleep and fewer night awakenings in people with anxiety-type insomnia

 

4. Recommended usage scenarios: These conditions require scientific intervention

       I lie down for several nights and my mind ca n't stop

       Light sleep, frequent dreams, waking up several times in the middle of the night

       Mood swings and difficulty concentrating during the day

       Fear of " addiction " and " inability to stop taking " medication

These are not " you are too sensitive " or " you have poor willpower " , but there is something wrong with your physiological rhythm.

ORAs can be used during periods of stress (such as seasonal anxiety, postpartum anxiety, job changes, etc.)

Or use CBT-I (cognitive behavioral therapy) as a rhythm restoration tool

Safe, non-dependent, and non-rebound, it helps you sleep soundly and wake up easily .

 

Conclusion: It’s not that you can’t do it, it’s that your brain needs an adjustment key

For anxious insomniacs, the most painful thing is not " not being able to fall asleep " , but " I tried hard, but was still stuck awake late at night " . Traditional sleeping pills cannot really solve this problem. ORAs do not suppress, but restore your rhythm.

You deserve a way to improve your sleep in a sustainable way without losing your sense of control .It won't make you fall asleep, it will only help you find the self who can sleep peacefully.
