screening, or consistently across Baseline measures according to protocol specifications), or any history of cardiovascular disease or any significant cardiovascular condition that in the investigator's opinion may jeopardize subject safety in the study.
13. Laboratory value(s) outside the laboratory reference range that are considered to be clinically significant by the Investigator (clinical chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis); NOTE: Screening labs may be repeated once.
14. Excessive caffeine use one week prior to Baseline assessments or anticipated excessive use during the study defined as >600 mg/day of caffeine.
15. Use of any over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription medications that could affect the evaluation of excessive sleepiness within 7 days prior to the Baseline Visit, or planned use of such drug(s) at some point throughout the duration of the study.
