“…The present results for Korean population are in line with previous studies in Spanish populations (Muro et al, 2011(Muro et al, , 2012. Consistent with these findings, a recent Italian study suggested associations of personality traits and circadian preference are explained by the effects of impulsivity and sensationseeking rather than the Big Five personality traits (Russo et al, 2012). These findings suggest that circadian preference has a modulatory role in certain personality dimensions such as impulsivity and contributes to lifestyle and psychiatric vulnerabilities.…”

“…Sensation-seeking, defined as a strong need for varied, novel and stimulating experiences and willingness to take risks for the sake of such experiences (Zuckerman et al, 1972), is another personality trait related to impulsivity (Zuckerman et al, 1993). A recent study in which major personality dimensions, impulsivity and sensation-seeking were considered together, showed that impulsivity and sensation-seeking traits were significantly associated with evening type and furthermore, no significant direct effects of the Big Five personality traits were detected once the effects of impulsivity and sensation-seeking were considered (Russo et al, 2012). Human behaviors such as lifestyle choice and biological vulnerability to mental illnesses may be linked to the relationship between impulsivity/sensation-seeking traits and circadian rhythm that are influenced by sleeping and waking cycles in daily activities.…”

Circadian preference has been considered related with impulsivity. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between circadian typology and impulsivity measured by the Barratt Impulsivity Scale (BIS), sensation-seeking measured by the Sensation Seeking Scale - Form V (SSS-V) and response inhibition elicited by the GO/NO-GO paradigm. A total of 503 Korean healthy college students (288 males and 215 females) completed the Composite Scale of Morningness (CSM) for circadian typology and the BIS and SSS-V for impulsivity and risk taking, respectively. A subset of 142 subjects additionally performed the computerized GO/NO-GO task for motor response inhibition. A significant association was found between the circadian typology of the CSM and impulsivity of the BIS and disinhibition of SSS-V. In addition, there was a difference in trend level between the circadian typology and response inhibition elicited by the GO/NO-GO test. Regarding circadian preference, evening types were significantly associated with higher impulsivity on the BIS, disinhibition on the SSS-V and lower rate of successful inhibition on the GO/NO-GO task compared to morning types. The present results showed significant relationships between circadian preference and impulsivity and sensation-seeking personality traits. In particular, our findings suggest that high impulsivity, disinhibition and impaired response inhibition are more related to evening types. Circadian preference might be associated with psychiatric problems interacting with some aspects of personality traits such as inhibitory control.

“…The association between late chronotype and current smoking could be at least partially explained by evidence showing that several affective and emotional traits are common to both smokers and late chronotypes. For example, sensation seeking, impulsivity attention deficit, anger, and negative mood have been reported as more common in late versus early chronotypes [57–59] and in smokers versus non-smokers [60, 61]. Nicotine administration has been shown to ameliorate these negative affective states [62, 63]; thus, it could be argued that affect and mood regulation is promoted by continued tobacco use in late chronotypes.…”

Smoking, Screen-Based Sedentary Behavior, and Diet Associated with Habitual Sleep Duration and Chronotype: Data from the UK Biobank

Background Sleep duration has been implicated in the etiology of obesity but less is known about the association between sleep and other behavioral risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Purpose The aim of this study was to examine the associations among sleep duration, chronotype, and physical activity, screen-based sedentary behavior, tobacco use, and dietary intake. Methods Regression models were used to examine sleep duration and chronotype as the predictors and cardiovascular risk factors as outcomes of interest in a cross-sectional sample of 439,933 adults enrolled in the UK Biobank project. Results Short sleepers were 45 % more likely to smoke tobacco than adequate sleepers (9.8 vs. 6.9 %, respectively). Late chronotypes were more than twice as likely to smoke tobacco than intermediate types (14.9 vs. 7.4 %, respectively). Long sleepers reported 0.61 more hours of television per day than adequate sleepers. Early chronotypes reported 0.20 fewer daily hours of computer use per day than intermediate chronotypes. Early chronotypes had 0.25 more servings of fruit and 0.13 more servings of vegetables per day than late chronotypes. Conclusions Short and long sleep duration and late chronotype are associated with greater likelihood of cardiovascular risk behaviors. Further work is needed to determine whether these findings are maintained in the context of objective sleep and circadian estimates, and in more diverse samples. The extent to which promoting adequate sleep duration and earlier sleep timing improves heart health should also be examined prospectively.

“…In short, evening types are more extraverted (e.g., Matthews, 1988), whereas morning types are more conscientious and proactive (Randler, 2009). Furthermore, impulsivity is higher in evening types (Adan, Natale, Caci, & Prat, 2010;Russo, Leone, Penolazzi, & Natale, 2012), as well as risk-taking (Killgore, 2007) and sensation seeking (Antúnez, Navarro, & Adan, 2014;Russo et al, 2012;Tonetti et al, 2010). Evening people tend to act out in an independent and nonconforming manner and resist to follow traditional standards-they prefer unconventional ways and call traditional rules into question (Díaz-Morales, 2007).…”

Sociosexuality, Morningness–Eveningness, and Sleep Duration

et al. 2016

Morningness–eveningness is the preference for different times of day for activity and sleep. Here, we addressed the effects of sleep behavior and morningness–eveningness on sociosexuality. Three hundred students ( M age = 22.75 years, with 95% between 18 and 28) participated online, answering questions about morningness–eveningness (rMEQ [Reduced Morningness–Eveningness Questionnaire]), midpoint of sleep on free days (MSF), sleep duration, and the Sociosexuality Orientation Inventory–Revised (SOI-R). The SOI-R contains three subscales, Behavior, Attitude, and Desire. Evening orientation and short sleep duration were related to a higher total SOI-R and to the three subscales. Based on the linear models, the strongest effect on sociosexuality was produced by gender (27% explained variance) while age accounted for 6% of variance. Nonadditive variance explained by sleep–wake behavior was 7% (MSF), 4% (sleep duration), and 4% (rMEQ scores; 3% rMEQ-based typology). Older age was related to less-restricted sociosexuality, and men were less restricted than women in Attitude and Desire. Sleep duration and rMEQ scores were associated with Attitude and Desire; but only MSF was significantly related to Behavior. The data show that sleep–wake variables are associated with sociosexuality, with evening orientation and shorter sleep duration being related to a less-restricted sociosexuality.
