ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange From Baseline to Day 1&2 in Wake After Sleep Onset (WASO)From baseline to Day 1&2
WASO was defined as the time spent in epochs scored as wake after onset of persistent sleep as determined by polysomnography (PSG) until lights on. For WASO assessed at the study center, the mean of the 2 PSG nights at each of Visits 3 and 4 was used for Day 1\&2 and Day 15\&16
PrimaryChange From Baseline to Day 15&16 in WASOFrom baseline to Day 15&16
WASO was defined as the time spent in epochs scored as wake after onset of persistent sleep as determined by polysomnography (PSG) until lights on. For WASO assessed at the study center, the mean of the 2 PSG nights at each of Visits 3 and 4 was used for Day 1\&2 and Day 15\&16
PrimaryChange From Baseline to Week 1&2 in the Self-reported WASO (sWASO)From baseline to Week 1&2
sWASO was the self-reported time spent awake after sleep onset as reported in the sleep diary. For sWASO assessed at home, the mean of all available data collected between Visits 3 and 4 (i.e., after the second morning of Visit 3 and before the first evening of Visit 4) was used for Week 1\&2
SecondaryChange From Baseline to Day 1&2 in Latency to Persistent Sleep (LPS)From baseline to Day 1&2
LPS was defined as the time from the start of the PSG recording to the beginning of the first continuous 20 epochs (i.e., 10 minutes) scored as non-wake (i.e., either sleep stage 1 (S1), sleep stage 2 (S2), slow-wave sleep (SWS), or rapid eye movement sleep(REM)) as determined by PSG
SecondaryChange From Baseline to Day 15&16 in LPSFrom baseline to Day 15&16
LPS was defined as the time from the start of the PSG recording to the beginning of the first continuous 20 epochs (i.e., 10 minutes) scored as non-wake (i.e., either sleep stage 1 (S1), sleep stage 2 (S2), slow-wave sleep (SWS), or rapid eye movement sleep(REM)) as determined by PSG
SecondaryChange From Baseline to Week 1&2 in Subjective Latency to Sleep Onset (sLSO)From baseline to Week 1&2sLSO was the self-reported time to fall asleep as reported in the sleep diary
