Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>As the primary endpoint, responsiveness to light will be measured using the<br /><br>pupillometer, measuring the diameter of the pupil while exposed to no light,<br /><br>red light and blue light, resulting in the Post-illumination Pupillary Response<br /><br>(PIPR) (Van der Meijden et al., 2015). </p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Secondary endpoints are vigilance as measured by the SART (total error score<br /><br>Van Schie et al., 2012) and the ESS. In addition, we will assess habitual sleep<br /><br>timing from the MCTQ, fatigue with the FSS and sleep quality from the PSQI.</p><br>
