Summary

This study looked at 61 night workers aged 20-55 to understand how their sleep patterns relate to attention and heart rate. Participants took ramelteon (Rozerem), a drug similar to melatonin, for two weeks. Researchers measured changes in sleep quality, anxiety, and depression using standard questionnaires.
