The Circadian Clock and Human Health. (2016, background): “The behavioural influences on sleep include the consumption of caffeine [80], alcohol and nicotine [33].”
Is the shift in chronotype associated with an alteration in well-being? (2015, background): “Social jetlag is the difference between MSF and mid-sleep time on workdays (MSW) and shows misalignment of biological (MSF) and social time (MSW) – the greater the value, the greater the misalignment (Wittmann et al. 2005).”
Social jetlag and obesity. (2012, methodology): “The quantification of chronotype is based on the midpoint of sleep on free days (MSF), corrected for ‘‘oversleep’’ on free days (MSFsc), and social jetlag is the difference between midsleep times on free days and onworkdays (MSF-MSW; see [15], Figure S1A available online, and Supplemental Experiment”
Morning is tomorrow, evening is today: relationships between chronotype and time perspective (2013, background): “Such ‘‘social jetlag’’ (Wittman et al. 2006) may lead to decrease of mood and life satisfaction, and induce maladaptive strategies of regulation of emotions, which may be reflected in perception of past (e.g., unpleasant memories of being consecutively woken up in the morning) (Past-Positive and…”

When do you procrastinate? Sleep quality and social sleep lag jointly predict self-regulatory failure at work (2016, background): “The alignment between individuals’ biological preferences and their work schedule, or the lack thereof—termed social sleep lag (Wittmann, Dinich, Merrow, & Roenneberg, 2006)—is of high societal relevance: The majority of the population experiences social sleep lag because many employees are faced wi”
A smartphone app reveals erratic diurnal eating patterns in humans that can be modulated for health benefits (2015, background): “Furthermore, since the sleep pattern changes between weekdays (workdays) and weekends, leading to social jetlag (Roenneberg et al., 2012; Wittmann et al., 2006), the breakfast time also changes between weekdays and weekends .”
Circadian Typology: A Comprehensive Review (2012, background): “Subsequent international studies have confirmed this observation, and this is of special relevance for adolescent and adult populations (Andershed, 2005; Gau et al., 2007; Giannotti et al., 2002; Urbán et al., 2011; Wittmann et al., 2006).”
Measuring Social Jetlag in Twitter Data (2016, background): “These studies have shown that for day shift workers there is a large difference between sleep on work days and free days, a phenomenon termed “social jetlag” (Wittmann et al. 2006), defined as the difference in midsleep time between work and free days.”
