Ramelteon may help sleep problems in children with autism.
Many children with autism have trouble sleeping (insomnia). This case study describes the effects of ramelteon on two boys (ages 7 and 18) with autism. Both boys had trouble getting to sleep and these problems improved when they were treated with ramelteon. When on ramelteon, the boys did not have any daytime sleepiness, nor did they have headaches or dizziness. Unlike other sleep aids, ramelteon does not seem to cause difficulty thinking (cognitive impairment).
