Context: Both light and melatonin can be used to phase shift the human circadian clock, but the phase-advancing effect of the combination has not been extensively investigated.Objective: The objective of the study was to determine whether phase advances induced by morning intermittent bright light and a gradually advancing sleep schedule could be increased with afternoon melatonin.Participants: Healthy adults (25 males, 19 females, between the ages of 19 and 45 yr) participated in the study.Design: There were 3 d of a gradually advancing sleep/dark period (wake time 1 h earlier each morning), bright light on awakening [ four 30-min bright-light pulses (similar to 5000 lux) alternating with 30 min room light
