With insomnia, the structures regulating a patient’s arousal system are unusually active during sleep, and thus the system fails to deactivate. Belsomra is a drug that counteracts this by serving as a dual antagonist in its interactions with Orexin receptors 1 and 2, in the aim of deactivating the arousal system in order for patients to sleep with little orexin activity present. This could also exacerbate the symptoms of narcolepsy, as the already little orexin activity would be diminished at great risk to patients with the sleep disorder<ref>doi:  10.2147/DDDT.S73224</ref>.
