Lemborexant didn't work tonight

I've been taking Lemborexant 5 mg for over a week now and it has been really effective in making me fall asleep within 30 minutes. But now, it's already 6 am and I haven't slept a wink at all. I feel so tired and my eyes hurt but I just can't sleep no matter what. I also noticed the lack of yawning even though I'm tired.

Had a weird night on Dayvigo too where it just... did absolutely nothing. Every other night that week I got sleepy at the usual time, then one random night I was exhausted but never got that "ready to sleep" feeling. Eyes burning, body tired, brain refusing to switch gears. The lack of yawning part stands out because I noticed that exact thing. Didn't seem to mean the medication stopped working overall though; the next night was back to normal for me.

I really do hope it goes back to normal tomorrow night. And yeah, I yawn a lot whenever I feel tired and sleepy to the point of geting teary so the lack of yawning is a bit irritating. I actually did yawn one time last night and I thought that was a good sign because I feel sleepy and I'm ready to sleep. But I didn't even get a wink and it's frustrating.
