Change From Baseline for Bond and Lader Visual Analogue Scale (BL-VAS) on Days 1, 4, 7, 10, 14, 15 and 16 - Alertness
Baseline (0h on Day 1), Day 1 (2h), Day 4 (1.5h), Day 7 (0h, 2h), Day 10 (1.5h), Day 14 (0h, 2h), Day 15 (0h) and Day 16 (0h).

The Bond and Lader Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) monitored the subjective mood of each participant on 16 mood scales. Participants were asked to indicate on the VAS scale ranging from 0 to 100 mm about how they felt at the moment the scale was administered (example, alert/drowsy; calm/excited; content/tensed). The individual responses from the 16 mood scales were then combined to make three affective dimensions/subscales a) alertness (average of 9 items \[total range 0 to 100, where each item is ordered so that higher scores indicated more alertness\]), b) mood (average of 2 items \[total range 0 to 100, where higher scores indicated elevated mood\]), and c) calmness (average of 5 items \[total range 0 to 100, where higher scores indicated more calmness\]). Baseline is defined as the last available recording prior to dosing on Day 1.
