has gloss | eng: A phase response curve (PRC) illustrates the relationship between the timing and the effect of a treatment designed to affect circadian rhythms. Normally, the various rhythms will be in synchrony within an individual (human or animal), and sleep-wake is the most obvious of these rhythms. For humans, a treatment designed to affect circadian rhythms will most often be intended to adjust sleep timing, either delaying it to later in the day (night), or advancing it. Extreme morning people may want to delay their sleep timing; extreme evening chronotypes may wish to advance it. |
