Early Monday morning, a decision from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is expected for yet a whole new type of sleeping pill. It's called Rozerem, from Japanese drug giant Takeda. Rozerem targets the same receptors as the over-the-counter aid melatonin, but with potentially clearer efficacy. (Some have even dubbed it "super-melatonin.") The idea is that by targeting two melatonin receptors in the brain, called M1 and M2, the drug can avoid many of the side effects that are troublesome in other sleeping pills.
