Exclusion
Exclusion Criteria:

Do not agree to use a highly effective method of contraception (as describedabove) throughout the entire study period and for 28 days after study drugdiscontinuation. It is permissible that if a highly effective method ofcontraception is not appropriate or acceptable to the participant, then theparticipant must agree to use a medically acceptable method of contraception,that is, double-barrier methods of contraception such as latex or syntheticcondom plus diaphragm or cervical/vault cap with spermicide NOTE: All femaleswill be considered to be of childbearing potential unless they arepostmenopausal (amenorrheic for at least 12 consecutive months, in theappropriate age group, and without other known or suspected cause) or have beensterilized surgically (that is, bilateral tubal ligation, total hysterectomy,or bilateral oophorectomy, all with surgery at least 1 month before dosing)

Apnea-Hypopnea Index >15 or Periodic Limb Movement with Arousal Index >15 asmeasured on the PSG at the 2nd Screening Visit
Reports symptoms potentially related to narcolepsy, that in the clinical opinion ofthe investigator indicates the need for referral for a diagnostic evaluation for thepresence of narcolepsy
Reports a history of sleep-related violent behavior, or sleep driving, or any othercomplex sleep-related behavior (example, making phone calls or preparing and eatingfood while sleeping)
