College students exposed to a regular 24-hour schedule maintain synchronization of body temperature and sleep-wake rhythms over 22-25 days.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Supports rhythm synchronization under regular schedules in young adults; leaves open applicability to clinical populations or irregular schedules.
Bedtime, risetime, and body temperature of college students exposed to a regular 24‐h life schedule were recorded for 22–25 consecutive days. Average bedtime was 1:37 am, average risetime was 8:53 am, and average temperature acrophase was 5:01 pm. There was no evidence of desynchronization of the body temperature and activity rhythms.
