Abstract

The proposed sleep-corrected formula for social jet lag accounts for both misalignment and sleep debt.

  • Social jet lag refers to the discrepancy between an individual's social schedule and their biological clock.
  • The traditional formula for measuring social jet lag does not fully consider the effects of sleep deprivation during workdays.
  • The new formula differentiates between sleep onset and sleep offset on workdays versus free days.
  • It is designed for subjects with longer sleep duration on free days and varying sleep onset or offset times.
  • This approach may provide a more accurate assessment of social jet lag and its implications for health.
