What does a result
actually mean?

Daridorexant versus placebo: time awake after initially falling asleep, measured at month three.

Difference in wake time: −18.3 minutes A dot marks the adjusted mean difference. The horizontal line spans its 95 percent confidence interval, minus 23.9 to minus 12.7 minutes. Zero represents no difference from placebo. More negative values mean less time awake. −30−20−100 Difference in minutes −18.3
Dot: adjusted mean difference. Line: 95% confidence interval. This is a group estimate, not a prediction for one person.

Study 1, 50 mg trial arm. This measures nighttime waking—not deep sleep, dementia prevention, or a personal treatment target.
