Abstract
A shift from circadian to circabidian periods or vice versa was observed in the rhythm of sleep and wakefulness under temporal isolation. The shift occurred in two subjects, 3 times in association with a single bright light pulse applied, 4 times in all. The finding suggests that the bright light pulse has an additional effect to the phase shift on the human circadian system.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
