Times below are for baseline sleep of 0000-0800 h, and the Bright light + Exercise + Melatonin treatment on days 3-5. Four trials of the Wingate test will each be separated by 6 hours. The timing of the trials will be staggered with subjects performing the first trial at 0900, 1200, or 1500. Please note: All the times noted are the Arizona time, including after the 8 h delay of the sleep-wake and light dark schedul (starting on day 3). The example is provided for a subject with a baseline sleep schedule of 0000-0800 who was assigned to complete the first Wingat Trial at 0900 on Day 2.
