FINALLY!... A SAFE sleep pill that ACTUALLY works! Daridorexant 😴

Daridorexant is the new sleeping pill everyone’s talking about — and it’s now available on the NHS. But how is it different from older options like Zopiclone or Temazepam? Is it safer? And can you actually get it prescribed?

In this video, I explain:
✅ How Daridorexant works and why it’s so different
✅ Whether it’s really better than Z-drugs, melatonin, or amitriptyline
✅ What the NICE guidelines say about who can access it
✅ What to do if your GP hasn’t heard of it
✅ And the one hidden condition that no sleep pill can fix — but affects millions

As an NHS GP, I’ve started prescribing Daridorexant — and this is the first sleep medication in years that actually feels different. It doesn’t knock you out, it nudges you into sleep by switching off the brain’s alertness signal (orexin). And the difference? You wake up feeling rested, not groggy.

But if nothing has helped you sleep — not CBT, not sleep hygiene, not even pills — make sure you watch to the end. Because there’s another common condition that mimics insomnia but needs completely different treatment.
