Assessments of circadian phase using melatonin are laborious. Sleep-time indices allow for less laborious phase calculations, but common indices weakly represent melatonin phase. We show how a single sleep-time assessment can represent melatonin phase by over 60%, improving the use of subjective sleep to mirror objective circadian phase.
使用褪黑素评估昼夜节律相位很费力。睡眠时间指标使相位计算不那么费力,但常见指标对褪黑素相位的代表性较弱。我们展示了单次睡眠时间评估如何能以超过60%的准确率代表褪黑素相位,从而改进了利用主观睡眠来反映客观昼夜节律相位的方法。
