Primary Outcome Measures:
- Mean Sleep Latency (Minutes) From the Multiple Sleep Latency Test (MSLT)- Average of Four Scheduled Naps Across Days 1 and 2 [ Time Frame: Days 1 and 2 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]MSLT is an assessment that measures likelihood of falling asleep. Mean Sleep Latency measures the time to fall asleep. On Treatment Days 1 and 2 the subject was instructed on 4 occasions to attempt to fall asleep. Each MSLT nap continued until 3 consecutive 30-second epochs of stage 1 sleep were reached, or any 30 second epoch of stage 2, 3, 4 or rapid eye movement sleep was reached. Each nap was terminated after 20 minutes if no sleep occured. Average sleep latency for the 4 naps was tabulated across days 1 and 2. Sleep latency was measured from lights out to first epoch scored as sleep.
- Average of Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S) of General Condition Ratings Across Days 1 and 2 [ Time Frame: Days 1 and 2 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The PGI-S rating scale is the patient's assessment of their general condition. The subject rates their overall condition according to the 7 following categories: 1=normal (no sign of illness), 2=borderline ill, 3=mildly ill, 4=moderately ill, 5=markedly ill, 6=severely ill, and 7=among the most extremely ill. The term "ill" refers here to any symptoms of jet lag and overall feeling. Symptoms may include sleepiness, irritability, malaise, gastrointestinal disturbance, and level of performance. The average of PGI-S ratings across days 1 and 2 are presented here.
