| Abstrakt: | The author recently observed a case involving a 12-year-old sighted girl who exhibited symptoms typical of non-24-hour sleep-wake rhythm disorder (N24SWD). This disorder, more commonly found in blind individuals, presents a unique challenge when diagnosed in those with vision. Several interventions can be attempted, ranging from behavioral adjustments to light therapy. Although melatonin has been noted for its effectiveness in realigning the patient's sleep-wake cycle, the use of ramelteon, a melatonin receptor agonist, has seldom been reported in managing N24SWD. However, this case illuminates the potential of ramelteon as another therapeutic option for sighted individuals with N24SWD. Further study is suggested to determine the potential of ramelteon in managing this disorder among sighted individuals of varying age groups. Citation: Huang C-H.
