The author has alerted us to the following errors, and the following corrections should be noted:


Page 431, ‘What is the tolerability profile of lemborexant?’ section, paragraph 2, lines 2–6: the following sentence, which previously read:


“Single and multiple doses of lemborexant 10 mg did not have any negative effects on the apnea-hypopoea index (a measure of OSA severity) or peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (a measure of respiratory function)”.


should read:


“Single and multiple doses of lemborexant 10 mg did not have any negative effects on the apnea-hypopnea index (a measure of OSA severity) or peripheral capillary oxygen saturation (a measure of respiratory function)”.
