Quviviq is a prescription drug used to treat insomnia (trouble sleeping) in adults. It contains the active ingredient daridorexant and belongs to a group of medications called dual orexin receptor antagonists (DORAs).

The safety of sleep medications can vary depending on the individual and their specific health conditions. However, some sleep medications have been found to have a relatively safe profile. One such medication is L-theanine, which is a natural amino acid found in tea leaves.

The use of long-term sleep medication is a topic of ongoing debate. While some classes of insomnia medications, such as non-benzodiazepine hypnotics, have been shown to be effective and safe for long-term use in the appropriate clinical setting, there is no consensus on the appropriate duration of use for all medications.
