Study Summary

The goals of this study are to uncover the influence of diet on the human circadian timing system. The protocol is a 46-day (28 outpatient days, 18 inpatient days over two 9 day visits) randomized cross-over study designed to elucidate the speed of entrainment in response to a high-fat diet.

Primary Outcome

Entrainment will be determined as a stable phase angle between sleep and both melatonin onset. Blood and/or saliva will be assayed for melatonin using standardized assays. Melatonin onset will be calculated using the linear interpolated time at which melatonin levels reach 25% of a fitted peak-to-trough amplitude. This will be analyzed using phase angle between sleep and melatonin onset.
