    Abstract In this chapter, we will discuss mathematical models of the master circadian rhythm in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus with a particular emphasis on models that incorporate the effect of light on circadian phase resetting and melatonin suppression. We will show that limit cycle oscillators provide a better representation of the salient properties of the human circadian system than a sinusoid. We will then discuss how the phototransduction of light to the SCN has been incorporated in various models. Finally, we will introduce different theoretical and practical applications of these models and highlight areas for future model development.

    Abstract The pineal melatonin rhythm provides a robust reference signal for the timing of the endogenous human circadian system. Dim light melatonin onset (DLMO) time is considered a gold-standard marker of the central circadian clock when measured from plasma or saliva. In this chapter, we describe the appropriate conditions for collecting plasma and salivary melatonin and the threshold method to calculate the DLMO.

    Abstract The pineal melatonin rhythm provides a robust reference signal for the timing of the endogenous human circadian system. The rhythm in the major urinary metabolite of melatonin, 6-sulphatoxymelatonin (aMT6s), is highly correlated with plasma melatonin and provides a noninvasive method to measure circadian phase, particularly in field-based studies. In this chapter, we describe the protocol for collecting urinary aMT6s and the method used to calculate the acrophase, or peak, time as a circadian phase marker.

    Abstract Study objectives: We examined the impact of adding a single-high-melanopic-illuminance task lamp in an otherwise low-melanopic-illuminance environment on alertness, neurobehavioral performance, learning, and mood during an 8-h simulated workday.
    Methods: Sixteen healthy young adults [mean(±SD) age = 24.2 ± 2.9, 8F] participated in a 3-day inpatient study with two 8-h simulated workdays and were randomized to either ambient fluorescent room light (~30 melanopic EDI lux, 50 lux), or room light supplemented with a light emitting diode task lamp (~250 melanopic EDI lux, 210 lux) in a cross-over design. Alertness, mood, and cognitive performance were assessed throughout the light exposure and compared between conditions using linear mixed models.
    Results: The primary outcome measure of percentage correct responses on the addition task was significantly improved relative to baseline in the supplemented condition (3.15% ± 1.18%), compared to the ambient conditions (0.93% ± 1.1%; FDR-adj q = 0.005). Additionally, reaction time and attentional failures on the psychomotor vigilance tasks were significantly improved with exposure to supplemented compared to ambient lighting (all, FDR-adj q ≤ 0.030). Furthermore, subjective measures of sleepiness, alertness, happiness, health, mood, and motivation were also significantly better in the supplemented, compared to ambient conditions (all, FDR-adj q ≤ 0.036). There was no difference in mood disturbance, affect, declarative memory, or motor learning between the conditions (all, FDR-adj q ≥ 0.308).
    Conclusions: Our results show that supplementing ambient lighting with a high-melanopic-illuminance task lamp can improve daytime alertness and cognition. Therefore, high-melanopic-illuminance task lighting may be effective when incorporated into existing suboptimal lighting environments.

    Abstract Sleep loss causes decrements in cognitive performance, which increases risks to those in safety-sensitive fields, including medicine and aviation. Mathematical models can be formulated to predict performance decrement in response to sleep loss, with the goal of identifying when an individual may be at highest risk for an accident. This work produces an Ensemble Mixed Effects Model that combines a traditional Linear Mixed Effects (LME) model with a semi-parametric, nonlinear model called Mixed Effects Random Forest (MERF). Using this model, we predict performance on the Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT), a test of sustained attention, using biologically motivated features extracted from a dataset containing demographic, sleep, and cognitive test data from 44 healthy participants studied during inpatient sleep loss laboratory experiments. Our Ensemble Mixed Effects Model accurately predicts an individual's trend in PVT performance, and fits the data better than prior published models. The ensemble successfully combines MERF's high rate of peak identification with LME's conservative predictions. We investigate two questions relevant to this model's potential use in operational settings: the tradeoff between additional model features versus ease of collecting these features in real-world settings, and how recent a cognitive task must have been administered to produce strong predictions. This work addresses limitations of previous approaches by developing a predictive model that accounts for interindividual differences and utilizes a nonlinear, semi-parametric method called MERF. We methodologically address the modeling decisions required for this prediction problem, including the choice of cross-validation method. This work is novel in its use of data from a highly-controlled inpatient study protocol that uncouples the influence of the sleep-wake cycle from the endogenous circadian rhythm on the cognitive task being modeled. This uncoupling provides a clearer picture of the model's real-world predictive ability for situations in which people work at different circadian times (e.g., night- or shift-work).

    Abstract While studies suggest that light and feeding patterns can reset circadian rhythms in various metabolites, whether these shifts follow a predictable pattern is unknown. We describe the first phase response curves (PRC) for lipids and hepatic proteins in response to combined light and food stimuli. The timing of plasma rhythms was assessed by constant routine before and after exposure to a combined 6.5-hour blue light exposure and standard meal schedule, which was systematically varied by ~20° between in0000dividuals. We find that the rhythms shift according to a PRC, with generally greater shifts for lipids and liver proteins than for melatonin. PRC timing varies relative to the stimulus, with albumin and triglyceride PRCs peaking at a time similar to melatonin whereas the cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein PRCs are offset by ~12 h. These data have important implications for treating circadian misalignment in shiftworkers who consume meals and are exposed to light around the clock.

    Abstract Objectives: Falls in care home residents have major health and economic implications. Given the impact of lighting on visual acuity, alertness, and sleep and their potential influence on falls, we aimed to assess the impact of upgraded lighting on the rate of falls in long-term care home residents.
    Design: An observational study of 2 pairs of care homes (4 sites total). One site from each pair was selected for solid-state lighting upgrade, and the other site served as a control.
    Setting and participants: Two pairs of care homes with 758 residents (126,479 resident-days; mean age (±SD) 81.0 ± 11.7 years; 57% female; 31% with dementia).
    Methods: One "experimental" site from each pair had solid-state lighting installed throughout the facility that changed in intensity and spectrum to increase short-wavelength (blue light) exposure during the day (6 am-6 pm) and decrease it overnight (6 pm-6 am). The control sites retained standard lighting with no change in intensity or spectrum throughout the day. The number of falls aggregated from medical records were assessed over an approximately 24-month interval. The primary comparison between the sites was the rate of falls per 1000 resident-days.
    Results: Before the lighting upgrade, the rate of falls was similar between experimental and control sites [6.94 vs 6.62 falls per 1000 resident-days, respectively; rate ratio (RR) 1.05; 95% CI 0.70-1.58; P = .82]. Following the upgrade, falls were reduced by 43% at experimental sites compared with control sites (4.82 vs 8.44 falls per 1000 resident-days, respectively; RR 0.57; 95% CI 0.39-0.84; P = .004).
    Conclusions and implications: Upgrading ambient lighting to incorporate higher intensity blue-enriched white light during the daytime and lower intensity overnight represents an effective, passive, low-cost, low-burden addition to current preventive strategies to reduce fall risk in long-term care settings.

    Abstract Aging alters the amplitude and phase of centrally regulated circadian rhythms. Here we evaluate whether peripheral circadian rhythmicity in the plasma lipidome is altered by aging through retrospective lipidomics analysis on plasma samples collected in 24 healthy individuals (9 females; mean ± SD age: 40.9 ± 18.2 years) including 12 younger (4 females, 23.5 ± 3.9 years) and 12 middle-aged older, (5 females, 58.3 ± 4.2 years) individuals every 3 h throughout a 27-h constant routine (CR) protocol, which allows separating evoked changes from endogenously generated oscillations in physiology. Cosinor regression shows circadian rhythmicity in 25% of lipids in both groups. On average, the older group has a ~14% lower amplitude and a ~2.1 h earlier acrophase of the lipid circadian rhythms (both, p ≤ 0.001). Additionally, more rhythmic circadian lipids have a significant linear component in addition to the sinusoidal across the 27-h CR in the older group (44/56) compared to the younger group (18/58, p < 0.0001). Results from individual-level data are consistent with group-average results. Results indicate that prevalence of endogenous circadian rhythms of the human plasma lipidome is preserved with healthy aging into middle-age, but significant changes in rhythmicity include a reduction in amplitude, earlier acrophase, and an altered temporal relationship between central and lipid rhythms.
