Summary

The aims of this study are to compare 3 different treatments for circadian adjustment to a laboratory protocol which will mimic westward air travel across 8 time zones. One treatment will involve simply following the new schedule for 3 days. Another treatment will also involve exposure to bright light for 1 hour per day. A third treatment will involve exposure to bright light + exercise for 1 hour per day + consuming a melatonin tablet. Adjustment to the shifted schedule will be assessed by comparing measures of sleep, mood, mental performance, physical performance, and timing of melatonin across the 3 treatment conditions.
