Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Analysis of Sleep Pattern via Actigraphy, Polysomnography & Questionnaires	The volunteers may be asked to wear a wrist actigraph to measure movement. This watch would be worn for 24 hours per day for 7-14 days. The volunteer may also be asked to fill out questionnaires regarding their sleep patterns. Note: Other methods of assessing sleep patterns may also be used including a portable polysomnogram or a standard, overnight sleep study.	7-14 days
Primary	Evaluation of skin (both in terms of skin aging and skin disease)	The volunteers may have their skin evaluated for skin aging using the SCINEXA tool. Volunteers with psoriasis may have their skin evaluated via PASI and/or PGA assessments. Volunteers may have photographs taken to compare clinical appearance with laboratory and research findings.	Only once during the study or at specific time points depending on what other procedures are being performed
Secondary	Sample Analysis (from skin, blood, urine, saliva and hair follicle samples)	Skin, blood, urine, saliva and hair follicle samples may be collected from some volunteers to look at various markers related to sleep, the circadian rhythm and skin disease.	Only once during the study or at specific time points depending on what other procedures are being performed
Secondary	Skin Barrier Recovery (via TEWL measurement)	Skin barrier recovery via Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) measurement may be assessed in some volunteers.	Only once during the study or at specific time points depending on what other procedures are being performed
Secondary	MED Testing & Recovery from UV-induced erythema	MED Testing & Recovery from UV-induced erythema may be assessed in some volunteers.	24 hours
