Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of a combination drug product (SM-1) containing diphenhydramine, zolpidem and lorazepam, in adult participants who sometimes have difficulty in falling asleep or staying asleep, but who do not have chronic insomnia. Participants will receive SM-1, or a combination of diphenhydramine and zolpidem, or a combination of diphenhydramine and lorazepam, or placebo during 4 one-night stays at a sleep center.
