Summary:

      This is a Phase IV, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, four-arm crossover study.
      The study will assess the effects of a single dose of Silenor 6 mg compared with matching
      placebo and a single dose of zolpidem 10 mg compared to its matching placebo at the
      respective T-max in normal healthy adult male volunteers. The study will be conducted in
      approximately 52 male subjects
