Summary
This study tested whether the drug Lemborexant helps people with delayed sleep phase syndrome (a condition where your internal clock makes it hard to fall asleep at a normal time) fall asleep faster. 71 adults took either the drug or a placebo nightly for up to 2 years. Researchers tracked sleep using logs and a wrist monitor to see if the drug shortened the time from lying down to actually falling asleep.
