Summary
This study tested two sleep medications (suvorexant and zolpidem) against a placebo in 40 adults with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), a brain disease that disrupts sleep. Each person tried all three options for one week each, with a week off in between. The goal was to see if targeting wake-promoting brain areas could improve sleep quality and daytime well-being.
