Gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA)A receptor modulators constitute the majority of clinically used sedative-hypnotics. These compounds have the capacity to initiate and maintain sleep, but decrease REM sleep and delta activity within NREM sleep. In order to avoid such sleep adverse effects, the development of novel compounds remains of interest.
