Mean times in and out of bed reported in sleep/wake logs for each participant. During the baseline (pre-study) period, subjects maintained a habitual day-oriented sleep/wake schedule prior to their admission to the laboratory. Each maintained an 8-hr sleep/darkness period that was based on their reported habitual bed and wake times. During the ambulatory phase of the investigation (experimental days 6-10), participants continued to maintain the night-oriented schedule by remaining awake at night and sleeping during the day while at home. Subject T06 did not participate in the last segment of the investigation (experimental days 6-12).
