2. XP patients with neurological symptoms diagnosed as group A, B, D, F, or G by genetic diagnosis, or group A, B, D, F, or G XP patients with mutations that have been shown in literatures to be associated with neurological symptoms, although neurological symptoms are not apparent at this time (for example, XPA: IVS3-1G>C, XPA: c.348T>A [p.Y116X], XPA: c.682C>T [p.R228X], ERCC2(XPD): c.2047C>T [p.R683W], ERCC4(XPF): c.2395C>T [p.Arg799Trp])).
3. Patients who are aged 1 year or older (weighing at least 7.5 kg) at the time of consent acquisition.
4. Patients who have obtained written consent to participate in this clinical study based on their own free will and/or the free will of their legal representative.

1. Patients with a history of allergy to melatonin or ramelteon.
2. Patients who have been using the following medication regularly from four weeks before the start of the investigational drug administration:
