Figure 3.

Acute and chronic impact of circadian disruption and sleep restriction on subjective food preference. Data from the Control (n = 8, 1:2 sleep:wake ratio) participants are denoted by open circles and those from the Chronic Sleep Restriction (CSR, n = 9, 1:3.3 sleep:wake ratio) participants are denoted by closed circles. Higher scores indicate higher subjective feelings of each aspect of food preference; the possible range was 0–100. Beat cycles (i.e., time to complete a cycle of circadian and sleep:wake schedule combinations, which was ~6 protocol days in this forced desynchrony design) of the protocol are shown on the x-axis. Error bars represent SEM. p values are derived from linear mixed models with beat cycle, condition, and their interactions as fixed effects and participant as a random factor.
