The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the abuse potential of lemborexant (E2006) in comparison to placebo and 2 controls with known abuse potential (ie, zolpidem and suvorexant) with similar indications (zolpidem and suvorexant) or mechanisms of action (suvorexant).
This is a single-center, single oral dose, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, 6-way crossover study in healthy, non-dependent recreational sedative users.

Number of participants with any treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE)
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered an investigational product. An AE does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the medicinal product. A TEAE is defined as an AE that emerges during treatment, having been absent at pretreatment (Baseline) or: re-emerges during treatment, having been present at pretreatment (Baseline) but stopped before treatment; or worsens in severity during treatment relative to the pretreatment state, when the AE is continuous.
Time frame: Up to 20 weeks
Number of participants with any treatment-emergent serious adverse event (SAE)
A TEAE is defined as an AE that emerges during treatment, having been absent at pretreatment (Baseline) or: re-emerges during treatment, having been present at pretreatment (Baseline) but stopped before treatment; or worsens in severity during treatment relative to the pretreatment state, when the AE is continuous. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: results in death; is life threatening; requires inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; is a congenital anomaly/birth defect (in the child of a participant who was exposed to the study drug).
Time frame: up to 20 weeks
