  1. CGI-I, Clinical Global Impression-Improvement, Investigator-rated; PSQ = Post Sleep Questionnaire; SD, standard deviation.
  2. Higher PSQ scores correspond to worse symptoms.
  3. Mean delta is change from baseline to Week 12.
  4. p-value is based on Kruskal-Wallis test.
  5. Guyatt's statistic is the ratio of the mean change score for each category of subjects divided by the standard deviation for the no change group.
