A marker for the end of adolescence. (2004, methodology): “To assess the distribution of chronotypes in the population, we use a simple questionnaire (Munich ChronoType Questionnaire, MCTQ [3]) that asks people about their sleep habits on work and free days; due to the open design of our study, the age distribution is not precisely representative (Figure 1A”
A time to think: Circadian rhythms in human cognition (2007, methodology): “In these protocols, performance tests are administered at optimal or nonoptimal time of day, as inferred for each subject by the score obtained at morningness–eveningness questionnaires (Horne & Östberg, 1976; Roenneberg et al., 2003).”
Is the shift in chronotype associated with an alteration in well-being? (2015, methodology): “Furthermore, the between-subjects relationships replicated previous findings showing later chronotype related to greater social jetlag, later bedtimes, and sleep onsets and offsets both on free days and workdays (Roenneberg et al. 2003; Zavada et al. 2005; Korczak et al. 2008).”
Social Jetlag: Misalignment of Biological and Social Time (2006, positive): “To estimate chronotype by a single phase reference point, the midpoint between sleep onset and waking on free days (mid-sleep on free days, MSF) was calculated based on the MCTQ.”
Depression and Anxiety (2008, neutral): “Chronotype is often represented as sleep midpoint on free days corrected for sleep‐debt accumulated during working days (MSFsc; Roenneberg et al., 2003).”
Epidemiology of the human circadian clock. (2007, background): “This relationship between external and internal time is called phase of entrainment, and when people differ in this trait, they are referred to as different chronotypes.(17) Daily human behaviour has mainly been assessed by questionnaires designed to associate individuals with temporal preferences c”
Causes and consequences of sleepiness among college students (2014, neutral): “a much longer sleep duration and often a later wake time on the weekends.(7,17,18) How the circadian rhythm and homeostatic sleep drive change with puberty is not well understood, but the cumulative effect is that adolescents and young adults feel more awake in the evening, have a difficult time fal”
Morningness in German and Spanish students: a comparative study (2007, background): “…2006) which occurs between 12 and 13 years of age (Ishihara, Honma, & Miyake, 1990; Kim, Dueker, Hasher, & Goldstein, 2002), and second, a shift back towards morningness at the end of adolescence, which could be viewed as a biological marker of the end of adolescence (Roenneberg et al., 2003).”
Sleep patterns and predictors of disturbed sleep in a large population of college students. (2010, background): “A similar idea has been proposed by Roenneberg and colleagues [19,22], who argue that an individual’s chronotype, which is controlled in part by genetic factors, is estimated best using the midphase of sleep on ‘‘free’’ days or days without social constraints.”
Chronotype and Social Jetlag: A (Self-) Critical Review (2019, methodology): “In order to provide a quick, cost-effective, scalable and non-invasive measure, we developed a simple instrument, the Munich ChronoType Questionnaire (MCTQ), more than 16 years ago [3] to estimate chronotype as phase of entrainment.”
Correlation between morningness – eveningness and final school leaving exams (2006, background): “Inter-individual differences on this continuum stretch from ‘larks’ which are early risers and pronounced morning types to ‘owls’ which prefer evenings for intellectual or physical activities (Horne & Östberg 1976; Natale & Danesi 2002; Roenneberg et al. 2003).”
Sleep, circadian rhythms, and delayed phase in adolescence. (2007, background): “A similar idea has been proposed by Roenneberg and colleagues [19,22], who argue that an individual’s chronotype, which is controlled in part by genetic factors, is estimated best using the midphase of sleep on ‘‘free’’ days or days without social constraints.”
Psychometric properties of the German version of the Composite Scale of Morningness (2008, background): “E-mail: randler@uni-leipzig.de ISSN 0929-1016 print/ISSN 1744-4179 online 2008 Taylor & Francis DOI: 10.1080/09291010701424796 continuum (Horne & Östberg 1976; Natale & Cicogna 2002; Roenneberg et al. 2003).”
The Circadian Clock and Human Health. (2016, background): “Entrained phases (or chronotypes) can vary greatly among individuals, creating a distribution of chronotypes ranging fromextreme ‘larks’ to extreme ‘owls’, with themajority of individuals falling between these extremes [2].”
