Are you 18-45 and healthy? Join research study on light exposure, body clock

This study is about how typical artificial indoor lighting versus a simulation of a natural sunset influences the timing of the human body clock.

This work will have important implications for determining how implementation of new lighting technology can be used to promote sleep. We are looking for healthy men and women, ages 18-45, to participate in a study lasting approximately 15 days and consisting of wearing an activity-tracking watch at home, and two laboratory visits of about seven hours each at the CU Boulder Sleep and Chronobiology Laboratory. Compensation up to $200. For study details, email sleep.study@colorado.edu and ask about the Simulated Sunset study.
