Melatonin Agonists

A few medications aid sleep by acting on the receptors for melatonin within the brain. Rozerem, sold as the generic ramelteon, seems to be most effective in aiding the quicker onset of sleep. Hetlioz (or tasimelteon) is used to treat the Non-24 circadian disorder in blind people.

Orexin Antagonist

Finally, a novel medication is available that reduces the orexin signal for wakefulness. Sold as Belsomra (or suvorexant), it seems to have modest benefits on insomnia and improves sleep maintenance. The loss of orexin is frequently associated with narcolepsy and accounts for the excessive daytime sleepiness that occurs with the disorder.
