Suvorexant
Rather than sedating the brain broadly, this medication blocks orexin receptors — the wake-promoting signaling system — to allow natural sleep to occur without forcing sedation. It is used for insomnia in adults and is also being studied for its potential to improve sleep quality in patients with Alzheimer's disease.
