They must consistently and correctly use a highly effective method of contraception, be sexually inactive, or have a vasectomized partner.
* Women of non-childbearing potential (i.e., postmenopausal, XY genotype, Turner syndrome, uterine agenesis).

Study-specific criteria

* Normal visual acuity (corrected or uncorrected).

Exclusion Criteria

General criteria:

* Pregnant or lactating women.
* Any known factor or disease that might interfere with treatment compliance, study conduct, or interpretation of the results.
* History or presence of rhythm disorders
* Any circumstances or conditions, which, in the opinion of the investigator, may affect full participation in the study or compliance with the protocol.

Study-specific criteria:

* Current or previous diagnosis of insomnia-related disorder according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders version 5 (DSM-5) criteria.
* History of alcoholism, drug abuse, or regular use of sedative drugs or hypnotics within 3 years prior to Screening.
