Abstract: Effects of a fixed single meal per day were examined on the circadian pacemaker and sleep-wake cycle in subjects under temporal isolation. When the time of single meal was allowed to take at any time of day (ad-lib meal), the sleep-wake cycle as well as the circadian rhythms in plasma melatonin, cortisol, and core body temperature were significantly phase-delayed in 8 days. On the other hand, when the time of meal was fixed at 1800 h in local time (RF meal), the phase-shift of sleep-wake cycle was not significant while those of the circadian rhythms were significant. The differential effects of a fixed single meal schedule were confirmed in most individual subjects. There was no evidence for the prefeeding increase in plasma cortisol and leptin levels under the fixed single meal schedule. The plasma ghrelin level was apparently high before meal in both ad-lib and RF meal groups, which was, however, likely sculptured by a nonspecific prandial drop and gradual increase after meal intake. Single meal augmented the prandial increase of plasma insulin levels by four to five times. These findings indicate that a single meal at a fixed time of the day during the subjective day failed to prevent the human circadian pacemaker but prevented the sleepwake cycle from free running for at least 8 days under temporal isolation, suggesting that mealtime was a potent nonphotic time cue for the human sleep-wake cycle.
