- Circadian Phase Shift [ Time Frame: Night 3 and Night 4 ]Exposure response to VEC-162 on induction of circadian phase shift as measured by Dim Light Melatonin Onset (DLMO) was defined as the time change between Night 3 and Night 4 when melatonin production reached 25% of the maximum melatonin concentration. Samples below LOQ of the melatonin assay were assigned 5 pg/ml.
- Mean Sleep Efficiency [ Time Frame: Night 4 and Night 2 ]Exposure response was measured by comparing the change in sleep efficiencies of VEC-162 and placebo treated subjects upon a sleep schedule phase advance. Sleep efficiency (total time asleep divided by the time allowed as an opportunity for sleep in a period multiplied by 100%, where time allowed for sleep was 8 hours or 480 minutes) was measured objectively by overnight polysomnographic recordings. Sleep efficiency was also compared in parts of the night by dividing the full night into thirds.
- Wake After Sleep Onset (WASO), and Latency to Persistent Sleep (LPS) [ Time Frame: Night 2 and Night 4 ]
Wake After Sleep Onset is defined as the total time that is scored as awake in a PSG occurring between sleep onset and lights-on prompt.
Latency to Persistent Sleep is defined as the number of epochs (one 30-second interval of the sleep episode) from the beginning of the recording (lights-out) to the start of persistent sleep (first 20 consecutive non-wake state) divided by 2.

- VEC-162 Cmax [ Time Frame: Night 4 ]
- VEC-162 Tmax [ Time Frame: Night 4 ]
