Artificial bright light cycles (LD 8:16) of about 5000 lux during the light period were applied to two subjects in a temporal isolation unit, who had shown free-running circadian rhythms in sleep-wakefulness and rectal temperature. The circadian rhythms were successfully entrained by the artificial light cycle, but the phase relation of the rhythms to the light cycle was substantially different between the two subjects. The result indicated that the artificial bright lights are able to reset human circadian rhythms.
在一个时间隔离单元中,对两名受试者施加了光照期约为5000勒克斯的人工明亮光周期(LD 8:16),这两名受试者在睡眠 - 清醒和直肠温度方面表现出自由运行的昼夜节律。人工光周期成功地使昼夜节律同步,但两名受试者的节律与光周期的相位关系存在显著差异。结果表明,人工明亮光能够重置人体昼夜节律。
