Long-term phase 3 extension data showed that pitolisant was generally well tolerated and associated with sustained improvements in excessive daytime sleepiness, sleep inertia, and functional outcomes in adults with idiopathic hypersomnia for more than 2 years.

Data from phase 3 studies presented at SLEEP 2026 showed that investigational oveporexton was associated with improvements in REM sleep architecture and sleep-related symptoms in patients with NT1.

New findings suggest that patients with obstructive sleep apnea and excessive daytime sleepiness exhibit distinct endotypic traits that may influence disease severity and symptom expression.

Two newly published studies highlighted both the phase 3 efficacy data and biologic rationale supporting AD109 as a potential oral treatment option for obstructive sleep apnea.

Kristine Yaffe, MD, distinguished professor at UCSF and SEQUINS Hall of Fame honoree, discusses dementia prevention, modifiable risk factors, and ongoing disparities in brain health and cognitive aging.

As a 2026 SEQUINS Hall of Fame honoree, James Galvin, MD, MPH, reflected on advancing equitable dementia care, culturally relevant cognitive assessment, and improving brain health outcomes across diverse communities.

A recent study suggested that probiotic regimens and biomarker-guided strategies may be a promising signal for reducing excessive daytime sleepiness in patients with PD and CKD.

A phase 1b/2 trial presented at AAN 2026 showed HS-10506, a selective OX2R antagonist, significantly improved sleep latency and overall sleep outcomes in adults with insomnia.

Data from the phase 2 Vibrance-1 trial showed that alixorexton was associated with improvements in patient-reported outcomes in adults with narcolepsy type 1 over up to 12 to 13 weeks of follow-up.

An exploratory analysis of a phase 3 trial showed that solriamfetol improved daytime wakefulness without producing consistent or clinically meaningful changes in nocturnal sleep quality measures.

A recent population-based data analysis of Korean adults reported those with anxiety and certain sleep disturbances experienced longer durations of morning grogginess, known as sleep inertia.
