Lemborexant is a prescription sleep medicine used to treat insomnia, including trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. It belongs to a class of medicines called central nervous system depressants that slow down brain activity to allow sleep. It works differently from older sleep medicines by blocking brain signals that keep you awake rather than acting as a strong sedative.
