Study Overview

Brief Summary

60 subjects will be assigned in 1:1 ratio to treatment with the test product or Placebo in this double- blind, randomized, placebo- controlled, parallel study. All enrolled subjects will be instructed to take 1 capsules of Test or Placebo, daily at night 0.5-1.0 hours before bedtime. The efficacy of investigational product will be assessed by change in sleep parameters as measured by polysomnography between test and placebo groups. The other assessments included are Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) global score, WHO-5 Wellbeing Index Quality of life and Sleep related parameters as per subject diary from baseline to Day 7, Day 14, Day 28. Safety will be assessed through Treatment Emergent Adverse events (AEs), frequency and severity (throughout the Study). Subject and Physician Global Assessment for treatment acceptability by Likert Scale will be done on Day 28.
