ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a medication called lemborexant to see if it can help people with Shift-Work Sleep Disorder sleep better during the day. The researchers want to find out if a dose of 5 mg of lemborexant can improve daytime sleep without causing any drowsiness when participants are awake. To do this, they will have participants go through a 3-day lab simulation of night shifts while closely monitoring their sleep.

To participate, you need to be a healthy man or woman between the ages of 30 and 60, and you must not have worked shifts in the past year. You also need to be willing to follow the study rules, which include avoiding alcohol and certain foods for a specific period. Participants will be required to spend time in a lab, where they will be monitored during the study. If you're interested and meet the eligibility requirements, you could help researchers learn more about improving sleep for those affected by shift work.
