In both France and England, the responses to these wartime challenges involved research, education, and quality control. In France, the major figure was Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier his English equivalent was William Congreve (the Elder).

Garfinkel et al. (168) conducted an investigation of melatonin s effects on sleep quality in 12 elderly subjects with insomnia [seven men, five women mean age, 76 years (range, 68 to 93 years standard deviation (SD), 8 years)]. These authors used a randomized, double-blind, crossover design with 2 mg controlled-release melatonin or a placebo taken 2 hours before desired bedtime every night for 3 weeks. After a 1-week washout, the subjects then received 3 weeks treatment with the other preparation. Compared with placebo, the controlled-release melatonin improved the sleep quality of these elderly subjects and was well tolerated. Further, 2 months treatment with 2 mg of controlled-release melatonin in these relatively healthy elderly subjects was much more effective than 1 week of treatment ( 168).
