Introduction
JETLAG, ARTERIAL STIFFNESS
The discrepancy in sleep–wake timing between workdays and free (non-work) days due to modern work schedules possibly causes mild circadian misalignment between endogenous circadian rhythm and the sleep schedule imposed by social obligations. This jetlag-like phenomenon is called “social jetlag (SJL),” [In humans, blood...

Twenty healthy men were recruited to participate in this study. All participants did not have a history of hypertension (systolic BP [SBP] ≤ 140 and diastolic BP [DBP] ≤ 90 mmHg), were nonsmokers, and were free of overt cardiovascular disease or diabetes, as assessed by medical history. All participants provided writte...

Week one
We started with a screening term to confirm sleep variables (bedtime, awake time, and mid-sleep time [median time between bedtime and awake time]) under free-living conditions for each participant from Wednesday in week one to Tuesday in week two.

Although there were significant interactions in cfPWV, morning BP surge, and time course of ambulatory SBP, the significant interactions disappeared when including participants who did not adhere to the intervention in the SJL trial (SJL < 2 h).

Study limitations
This study has some limitations. First, although we randomly assigned participants to two trials, the intervention was not performed in a blinded manner, which might have caused bias in the results.
