Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Outcome 1: More robust rhythm of the activity-rest rhythm in the experimental group compared to the control evaluated through actimetry and levels of salivary cortisol and melatonin, considering a better rhythm the more the parameters follow a cosinor curve.;Outcome 2: Improvement in sleep quality in the experimental group compared to control assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Epworth Sleepiness Scale, in which the higher the scores, the worse the subjective sleep quality and sleepiness, respectively.;Outcome 3: More robust rhythmicity of exposure to light in the experimental group compared to the control evaluated through actimetry, considering a better rhythmicity the more the parameters follow a cosinor curve.;Outcome 4: More robust rhythmicity of the feeding times in the experimental group compared to the control evaluated through a diary, considering a better rhythmicity the more the feeding times follow a cosinor curve.;Outcome 5: Improvement in anxious, depressive, stress and fear symptoms in the experimental group compared to control, assessed through the Trait-State Anxiety Inventory, Beck's Depression Inventory, Perceived Stress Scale - 10 and Fear Questionnaire, respectively; in which the lower the scores, the lower the intensity of the aforementioned emotional symptoms.;Outcome 6: Best visuospatial and verbal memory in the experimental group compared to control, assessed using the Rey Osterrieth Complex Figure Test and Rey Auditory-Verbal Learning Test, respectively; in which the higher the scores, the better the individuals' memory.;Outcome 7: Lower headache incidence in the experimental group compared to the control assessed through the diary, so that the fewer days with headache, the lower its incidence. | — |
