  1. ncbi Circadian misalignment in major depressive disorder
    Jonathan Emens
    Department of Psychiatry, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, OR 97239, USA
    Psychiatry Res 168:259-61. 2009
    ..We sought to determine if misalignment between the timing of sleep and the pacemaker correlated with symptom severity in MDD. Depression severity correlated with circadian misalignment: the more delayed, the more severe the symptoms...
  2. ncbi Phase angle of entrainment in morning- and evening-types under naturalistic conditions
    Jonathan S Emens
    Department of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, OR 97239, USA
    Chronobiol Int 26:474-93. 2009
    ..Specifically, evening types, compared to morning types, had a higher ratio of phase advancing to phase delaying by light. We interpret this as indicating a longer circadian period (tau) in evening types...

    Alfred J Lewy
    Sleep and Mood Disorders Laboratory, Department of Psychiatry, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, Oregon 97239, USA

    Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 103:7414-9. 2006
    ..The findings support the phase-shift hypothesis for SAD, as well as suggest a way to assess the circadian component of other psychiatric, sleep, and chronobiologic disorders...
  8. ncbi Melatonin entrains free-running blind people according to a physiological dose-response curve
    Alfred J Lewy
    Sleep and Mood Disorders Laboratory, Department of Psychiatry, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, OR 97239 3098, USA
    Chronobiol Int 22:1093-106. 2005
    ..Left untreated, their free-running endocrine, metabolic, behavioral, and sleep/wake cycles can be almost as burdensome as not having vision...
  9. ncbi Relative coordination to unknown "weak zeitgebers" in free-running blind individuals
    Jonathan S Emens
    Sleep and Mood Disorders Laboratory, Department of Psychiatry, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland 97239, USA
    J Biol Rhythms 20:159-67. 2005
    ..Sighted individuals may also be affected by such weak zeitgebers, which may be obscured by the stronger light/dark cycle...
  10. ncbi Eventual entrainment of the human circadian pacemaker by melatonin is independent of the circadian phase of treatment initiation: clinical implications
    Alfred J Lewy
    Sleep and Mood Disorders Laboratory, Department of Psychiatry, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, OR 97239, USA
    J Biol Rhythms 19:68-75. 2004
    ..Therefore, it is not essential that circadian phase be ascertained before starting low-dose melatonin treatment of blind people...
  11. ncbi Low, but not high, doses of melatonin entrained a free-running blind person with a long circadian period
    Alfred J Lewy
    Department of Psychiatry, Oregon Health and Science University, Portland, USA
    Chronobiol Int 19:649-58. 2002
    ..We now find that this person can be entrained to 0.5 mg of melatonin, but not to 20 mg. These results are consistent with the idea that too much melatonin may spill over onto the wrong zone of the melatonin phase-response curve...
