The purpose of this observational study is to evaluate the impact of daridorexant on quality of life, work productivity and insomnia symptoms in Canadian adults suffering from insomnia.
Participating physicians will identify potential participants based on their medical judgment for a new prescription of QUVIVIQ® (daridorexant) 50 mg. Physicians will discuss with the potential participant in person to briefly describe the study (purpose, confidentiality, questionnaires, as well as compensation). Potential participants interested in participating in the study will be asked to give their authorization to share with the PROxy Network their contact information by signing an authorization form. A designated PROxy team member will then contact the potential participant to explain the study in more details and to assess the eligibility. If the potential participant agrees to participate and provides verbal consent, he/she will be invited to visit the Participant Portal on the PROxy website to sign the ICF and complete the online baseline questionnaires. Five days prior to each study timepoint (1 month, 2 months and 3 months following baseline questionnaire completion), participants will receive an email inviting them to fill their study questionnaires. This e-mail will be sent every other day to the participant who have not completed the questionnaires. In the case where a participant has not completed the questionnaires within a period of 5 days after the first email was sent, a call will be made by a designated PROxy team member to remind the patient to complete the questionnaire. Participants who don't complete the questionnaires in the 5 days following the call will be excluded from this timepoint analysis.

Change from Baseline in Quality of Life
QoL will be measured using the SF-36 questionnaire, a self-administered and validated questionnaire. The percentage change from baseline in each domain of the SF-36 will be assessed at Month 1, Month 2 and Month 3.
Time frame: Month 1, Month 2, Month 3
Change from Baseline in Work Productivity Loss
Work productivity loss will be measured using the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment for Specific Health Problem (WPAI:SHP), a self-administered and validated 6-item questionnaire designed to assess the impact of a health condition on work productivity and daily activities for a specific disease/condition (in this case, insomnia). The percentage change from baseline on the WPAI:SHP score at month 1, month 2 and month 3 will be assessed.
Time frame: Month 1, Month 2, Month 3
Change from Baseline in the Severity of Insomnia Symptoms
Severity of insomnia symptoms will be measured using the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) questionnaire, a self-administered, validated, 7-item questionnaire, designed to assess the severity of insomnia symptoms. The ISI will be assessed at Month 1, Month 2, and Month 3.
Time frame: Month 1, Month 2, Month 3
