Assessment

Primary outcomes

1. The measured value of "sleepiness on rising" in the OSA sleep inventory MA version (OSA-MA) at 12 weeks after consumption (12w)

Key secondary outcomes

1.The measured values of "sleepiness on rising" in the OSA-MA at 4 and 8 weeks after consumption (4w, 8w)

2.The amount and rate of change of "sleepiness on rising" in the OSA-MA between screening (before consumption; Scr) and 4w, 8w, or 12w

The below items (No. 3~4) at 4w, 8w, and 12w, and the amount and rate of changes of them from Scr will be measured

3."Initiation and maintenance of sleep", "frequent dreaming", "refreshing", "sleep length", and each item in the OSA-MA

4.Each item in an original questionnaire

The below items (No. 5~9) at 12w, and the amount and rate of changes of them from Scr will be measured

5.Total score, C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, and each item in the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI-J)

6.Total Mood Disturbance (TMD), Tension-Anxiety (TA), Depression-Dejection (DD), Anger-Hostility (AH), Vigor-Activity (VA), Fatigue-Inertia (FI), Confusion-Bewilderment (CB), Friendliness (F), and each item in the Profile of Mood States 2nd Edition (POMS2)

7.Sleep score, sleep onset, sleep offset, midpoint of sleep, time in bed after sleep offset, sleep onset latency, StageR latency, NotScored total time, N1 total time, N2 total time, N3 total time, rapid eye moving (REM) total time, total sleep time (TST), wake time after sleep onset (WASO), sleep efficiency[%total recording time (TRT)], percentage of N1[%TST], percentage of N2[%TST], percentage of N3[%TST], and percentage of REM[%TST] in the sleep test

8.Blood flow and palmar surface temperature (with cold water load)*
*Assessment items: The measured values at each time point, area under the curve (AUC) from immediately after load, and the amount of changes from before and immediately after load to each time point respectively
Time points: Before load, immediately after load, 5, 10, 20, and 30 minutes after load

9.Oxidative stress markers {8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS)}, nitric oxide (NO) metabolites, and pentosidine in the blood test
