Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of bedtime administration of a single dose of ramelteon (8 mg), zopiclone (7.5 mg), and placebo on next-morning on-road driving performance. In addition, the drugs' effects on balance are evaluated during the night, and the next morning residual effects on memory and psychomotor performance.
