Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Total Sleep Time in the First Two Thirds of the Night
Total sleep time during the first 2/3 of the night following an 8-hour phase advance bedtime, as measured by PSG. This is representative of trans meridian travel across 8 time zones.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Total Sleep Time
Total Sleep Time as measured by PSG.
Latency to Persistent Sleep
Length of time elapsed between lights out and onset of persistent sleep as measure by PSG.
Wake After Sleep Onset
The amount of wake time during the sleep period after sleep onset (as measured by polysomnography).
Next Day Alertness as Measured by the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (Night 1 Average Score)
A 9-point scale that measures subjective levels of fatigue by asking how sleepy subjects feel at that moment: 1 = extremely awake to 9 =extremely sleepy/fighting to stay awake.
Next Day Alertness as Measured by the Visual Analogue Scale (Night 1 Average Score)
The VAS was a self-rated scale to assess sleepiness. Participants marked along a 100 mm line to represent their current state of sleepiness, 0 being very sleepy and 100 being very alert. The VAS was administered four times following the dose administration after awakening.
