The amount (hours ± SEM) of sleep loss (−) and sleep gain (+) was determined for 20-h (ZT4–24), 4-h (ZT0–4), and 24-h (net sleep loss/gain) time blocks over the 5 days of sleep restriction (SD1–SD5), the 3 days of full recovery (R1–R3), and the total 8-day protocol (SD1–R3). Sleep loss during the 20-h wheel deprivation was calculated based on the average amount of sleep during the corresponding 20-h BL period minus any sleep that occurred in the wheel. Sleep gain was calculated as the amount of sleep during the 20- or 4-h time block that reached above the corresponding BL level.
