Brief Summary

This study is a prospective, open-label, single arm, multicenter study lasting 12 weeks to evaluate effectiveness and safety of lemborexant(LEM). Patient self-evaluation reports and safety events will be collected at baseline and 4 visits during treatment.

Detailed Description

This study is a prospective, open-label, single arm, multicenter study lasting 12 weeks to evaluate effectiveness and safety of lemborexant(LEM). Adult patients diagnosed with insomnia (including chronic and short-term insomnia) in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) and ISI ≥10, clinically judged to need pharmacological treatment will be enrolled.Patients will be administered with LEM, and patient self-evaluation reports and safety events will be collected at baseline and each visit during treatment.
