You may not qualify if:

  • Known hypersensitivity to ramelteon or related compounds, including melatonin.
  • Previously participated in a study involving ramelteon.
  • Participated in any other investigational study and/or taken any investigational drug within 30 days or five half-lives prior to Day 1, whichever is longer.
  • Sleep schedule changes required by employment (eg, shift worker) within three months prior to Day 1, or has flown across greater than three time zones within seven days prior to screening.
  • Participated in a weight loss program or has substantially altered their exercise routine within 30 days prior to Day 1.
  • Ever had a history of seizures, sleep apnea, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, restless leg syndrome, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, mental retardation, or cognitive disorder.
  • History of psychiatric disorder (including anxiety or depression) within the past 12 months.
  • History of drug addiction or drug abuse within the past 12 months.
  • History of alcohol abuse within the past 12 months, as defined in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Text Revision and/or regularly consumes 4 or more alcoholic drinks per day.
  • Current significant neurological (including psychiatric and cognitive disorders), hepatic, renal, endocrine, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, hematologic, or metabolic disease, unless currently controlled and stable with protocol-allowed medication 30 days prior to Day 1.
  • Uses tobacco products during nightly awakenings.
  • Used melatonin, or other drugs or supplements known to affect sleep/wake function within 1week (or 5 half lives of the drug, whichever is longer) prior to Day 1.
  • Used any central nervous system medication within 1 week (or 5 half lives of the drug, whichever is longer) prior to Day 1. These medications must not have been used to treat psychiatric disorders.
  • Any clinically important abnormal finding as determined by a medical history, physical examination, electrocardiogram, or clinical laboratory tests, as determined by the investigator.
  • Any significant endocrine pathology based on borderline laboratory results.
