Results were from one- and two-order harmonic models. Amplitude was defined as the difference between the fit highest value and the fit lowest value over a 24-hour period using either the one- or two-harmonic model.

**

Peak time was defined as the time for the maximum value of the fit metabolite-specific harmonic curve. Peak time-DLMO was defined as the difference between the eastern time zone clock time (Supplementary Table 2) minus the Dim Light Melatonin Onset (DLMO) time of each participant (P1=21:32, P2=20:46 and P3=20:17). Some values additionally added 24, for convenience of comparison.

The amplitude was based on the median normalized concentration of each metabolite

Participants whose p-value for circadian rhythm <2.5×10−5 (0.05/663/3) met the Bonferroni corrected significance level.
