PrimaryMean Change From Baseline in the Average Sleep Onset Latency (SOL) From Modified-Multiple Sleep Latency Test (M-MSLT) for Each Treatment in Treatment Periods 1 to 3Baseline, Day 2 of each of three treatment periods that were separated by approximately 2 weeks (for a total of up to 4 weeks)
SOL is defined as the length of time that it takes to accomplish the transition from full wakefulness to sleep. The multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) is a widely used method for objectively quantifying excessive, pathological, or pharmacologically induced residual sleepiness by measuring the number of minutes that it takes a participant to fall asleep. The MSLT was modified to include four Sleep Latency Tests (SLTs), with the first starting at 45 minutes after morning wake time, and the subsequent three occurring at 30-minute intervals for a total of 4 SLT's per M-MSLT. Each SLT was scored to determine the latency in minutes (with precision to 0.5 minute) from lights off to sleep onset; trials during which sleep onset did not occur were assigned a latency of 20 minutes. The four SLTs for each participant were averaged to obtain the mean SOL.
SecondaryNumber of Participants With an Average SOL of Less Than (<) 8.0 Minutes for Each TreatmentDay 2 of each of three treatment periods that were separated by approximately 2 weeks (for a total of up to 6 weeks)
