"I'm not suffering from neurasthenia, my sleep rhythm has been disrupted by my child" - Adjusting the wakefulness system is the real solution

1. What is disrupted by children is not just your daily routine, but your brain’s awakening mechanism

Modern neuroscience believes that the core factors affecting sleep include two systems:

•       🕒 Circadian rhythm system (biological clock) : responsible for the natural switching of " wake / sleep " mode according to time

•       ⚡ Orexin system : Maintains attention and alertness during waking hours

Getting up at night to feed and getting up early to take care of your child for a long time can cause:

•       Biological clock disorder, sleep signal weakened

•       The arousal system is overexcited and still active at night

•       The brain " can't stop " before going to bed, difficulty falling asleep, frequent night awakenings

📌 This is not a case of " bad nerves " , but rather the result of the awakening pathway being continuously raised .

 

2. Why is it difficult for traditional sleeping pills to help you “ reset ” ?

Traditional sleeping pills (such as diazepam and zolpidem) are central nervous system depressants with the following characteristics:

•       Forced sedation of the nervous system, making you " forced to fall asleep "

•       It will inhibit deep sleep ( N3 ) and rapid eye movement ( REM ), affecting the quality of recovery

•       Feeling sleepy, slow to react, and inattentive the next day

•       It does not regulate rhythm or act on the arousal pathway , and only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.

📌 Therefore, many mothers feel more tired after using it, and are more likely to wake up at night and not be able to come back, and even " the more they take it, the more anxious they become. "

 

3. ORAs : Help your brain “ remember when to sleep ”

Suvorexant, Lebrexant, and Darilexant are all orexin receptor antagonists ( ORAs ) and their working mechanism is:

•       Blocking OX1R/OX2R receptors to inhibit nighttime “ wake-up signals ”

•       No interference with GABA , no forced sedation

•       Preserve natural sleep structure, especially deep sleep ( N3 )

•       Gradually help the brain rebuild the rhythmic circuit of " sleeping at night → being awake during the day "

✅ Research data supports:

•       Ueno et al., 2022 : Lebrexan can shorten the time to fall asleep, improve sleep maintenance, and show good effects on insomnia caused by circadian rhythm disorders

•       Sun et al., 2021 : Suvorexant performed significantly better in people with frequent nighttime awakenings, with no rebound insomnia after discontinuation of the drug

 

4. Which type of mothers are suitable to try this type of rhythm-friendly sleeping aid?

•       People who are often woken up by children at night and have disturbed sleep rhythms

•       Anxious people who have trouble falling asleep at night even though they are very tired during the day

•       Those who want to use medication but are concerned about side effects and addiction risks

•       Those who want to gradually resume natural sleep after weaning and stabilizing the rhythm of parenting

📌 ORAs will not let you fall into " drowsiness " , but will help you regain the sense of order of biological rhythms .

 

Conclusion: The real solution to insomnia is not to force yourself to fall asleep, but to let your body " remember when to rest "

Parenting not only changes your lifestyle, it also disrupts your neural rhythm.
It's not that you are weak, but that your awakening system is working too hard and too alert - it is still working hard when you shouldn't be awake .
Choosing new-generation sleeping aids such as Suvorexant and Lebrexant is not to escape anxiety, but to scientifically help you regain your sense of rhythm and ability to rest .
You deserve a night where you can sleep and face tomorrow with a clear mind.
