Objectives: To evaluate the acute effects of two histamine H-1-receptor antagonists on nocturnal sleep architecture and on next day cognitive function and psychomotor performance.Methods: This was a single-site, randomized, double-blind, 3-way crossover study, comparing the effects of a single dose of chlorpheniramine (6mg), fexofenadine (120mg)and placebo in 18 healthy (male and female) Japanese volunteers aged 20-55 years. Volunteers were resident for 3 days and each period was separated by a minimum 5-day washout period. The three treatments were administered at 23.00h. Overnight sleep was measured from 23.00h to 07.00h using polysomnography. Residual effects were studied at 07.00h and 9.00h the next morning, with the latency to sleep (sleep latency test) measured at 09.30h.Results: Compared with placebo, chlorpheniramine increased the latencies to sleep onset and rapid eye movement ( REM) sleep (p
