Values are means ± SE. Sleep episode numbers are hourly average numbers, and sleep episode durations are average durations during the entire 24-h recording periods. Postchallenge days: virus 1 and virus 2, asymptomatic infection prodrome on days 1 and 2; virus 4, acute phase of infection on day 4; virus 8, early recovery phase of infection on day 8.
