Abstract
In the second experiment, a single participant followed the instructions presented without human intervention by the prototype wireless light/activity sensor and mobile app. The first 14 days were similar in schedule to Experiment One: after a 7-day base-line period, the participant followed a 7-day, 90-minute advanced sleep/wake schedule, during which time he followed the same LEAP as those in the Advanced condition in Experiment One. On days 15 and 16 he followed an algorithmically-generated LEAP intended to delay him 198 minutes. After day 14, the subject's circadian phase had ad-vanced 57 minutes (subjects in the Advanced condition in Experiment One advanced 132 ±55 minutes); after day 16, the subject's circadian phase had delayed 162 minutes.
