		In the current study, Linenger's circadian rhythms were maintained for three months in space, but then began to deteriorate, despite the astronaut's efforts to hold himself to a regular sleep schedule corresponding to the 24-hour day on earth.

		Linenger's circadian rhythm "wasn't drifting out of phase; it was just losing its umph….One way to interpret [the results] was that the message was not getting through from the biological clock," he added.

	Letters from Mir: An Astronaut's Letters to His Son
