There is a new drug on the market referred to as Suvorexant which is supposed to work by blocking Orexin. Orexin is the brain’s chemical which promotes alertness. In patients suffering from insomnia or other related sleeping disorders. The first trial done using the drug showed that patients were falling asleep 36 minutes faster than usual. These results were reported approximately three months after tracking a placebo drug. The second trial that was conducted showed people sleeping longer and falling asleep faster than the patients who were being offered the placebo drug.
This drug can be offered as a new option to patients with chronic sleeping conditions. Many sleep drugs focus on shutting down the entire brain in less of a natural way that is why this drug will provide better effects without the long term side effects. Patients will experience less drowsiness and will get to experience more normal consistent sleeping patterns. GABA an amino acid stimulates the increase of dopamine in the brain, exerting a relaxing effect on the body, being essential to a better nights rest. It also is known to fight the cortisol hormone (stress hormone) which negatively affects the body’s stress levels.
