Summary
This paper discusses the results of a clinical trial testing the efficacy and safety of tasimelteon in treating Jet Lag Disorder in healthy participants.
Categories
Jet lag: The paper discusses a clinical trial testing the efficacy and safety of tasimelteon in treating Jet Lag Disorder in healthy participants.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper discusses how tasimelteon can help improve sleep time and reduce next-day sleepiness in participants experiencing Jet Lag Disorder.
Alertness and performance: The paper discusses how tasimelteon can help increase next-day alertness in participants experiencing Jet Lag Disorder.
Hormone regulation: The paper discusses how tasimelteon, a Dual Melatonin Receptor Agonist, can regulate the timing of melatonin secretion and help entrain the circadian clock of individuals.
