  1. Summary report of linear mixed model (LMM) analyses for melatonin AUC (primary outcome) and melatonin onset (post-hoc analysis), applying the sparse model. Estimates of the AEE light intervention conditions are given relative to the dim AEE light condition. The intercept of the sparse model gives the mean melatonin AUC and onset after the 'dim' AEE light condition. P-Values of (p < 0.05) were considered as significant (in bold).
  2. Abbreviations: AIC Akaike Information Criterion, AUC area under the curve, CI confidence interval (95%), ICC Intraclass Correlation Coefficient, Nsubjects number of subjects in the analysis, σ² variance of the residuals of the model, τ00 subjects variance in the random intercepts at the subject level, Std. error standard error of the estimates.
