A, amplitude; ϕ, acrophase, expressed in (negative) degrees, with 360° ≡ 24 h, 0° = 00:00. Results from parameter tests (5). For this time-microscopic assessment, the data during the 4 days of vacation in span 3 were removed from span 2 before analysis. MESOR, a midline-estimating statistic of rhythm.
