Effects of the Melatonin MT-1/MT-2 Agonist Ramelteon on Daytime Body Temperature and Sleep

Conclusions: Ramelteon improved daytime sleep, perhaps mechanistically in part by reducing core temperature and modulating skin temperature. These findings suggest that ramelteon may have promise for the treatment of insomnia associated with circadian misalignment due to circadian sleep disorders.
