What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Changes from Baseline to visit 7 in percent REM, percent slow wave sleep (stages 3 and 4), and sleep efficiency (which is total sleep time ÷ time in bed defined as lights out), with particular focus on sleep efficiency.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Secondary endpoints are based on the changes from Baseline to visit 7
