Circadian phase
Baseline DLMO 23 21:27 (1:10) 21:30 (1:06)
Final DLMO 18 23:54 (1:23) 23:36 (1:31)

Phase angle sleep offset 16 13:37 (2:35) 13:38 (1:55)

Participants with complete data for each variable. Sleep variables derived from averaged actigraphy of the three daytime sleep periods after the night shifts. DLMO, dim-light melatonin onset. Baseline DLMO sampled in the evening one day prior to the first night shift; Final DLMO sampled in the evening on the day after the third night shift. Phase angle calculated as the time interval from final DLMO to sleep onset and offset, derived from actigraphy of the previous daytime sleep period (after the third night shift). There were no significant differences between the light conditions (p > 0.05).
