“…The meta-analysis of the research over chronotype, conducted by Cavallera and Guidici, revealed more frequent cases of eveningness among men [2]. Furthermore, the research by Chelminski et al [20] indicate that the morning chronotype is much more frequent among women, which has been confirmed by the research of Natale and Danesi [21], where a greater percentage of women with the morning chronotype and men with the evening chronotype was stated.…”

S u m m a r yChronotype is an attribute connected with an individual, preferred pattern of circadian activity on the continuum of morningness-eveningness. It mirrors the inter-individual differences in the course of circadian rhythms [1,2]. The studies indicate its connections with sleep-wake cycle, i.e.: time of sleep onset, wake up time and duration of sleep [3,4].Two methods of describing human chronotypes are considered in this paper: a subjective -questionnaire method and an objective method -actigraphy that measures the gross motor activity.The aim of the study was to assess the relation between results of Polish adaptation of Horne and Östberg Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire [5] and circadian activity measured with actigraphs in order to compare and evaluate the usefulness of both methods in chronotype related studies. Also, the purpose was to assess the relation between chronotype and socio-demographic factors such as sex, age and education in Polish population.The research group included 150 healthy volunteers of genders, 75 women and 75 men. The age of the respondents fell between 19 and 60 years old (34.25±12.13 EX±SD).The obtained results confirmed the usefulness of actigraphy in chronotype related studies. Also they confirmed modulation of chronotype with age and revealed differences in circadian activity between men and women. że jest on ściśle związany z przebiegiem rytmu senczuwanie, m.in. czasem zaśnięcia i budzenia się oraz czasem trwania snu [3,4].W pracy zastosowano dwie metody pomiaru chronotypu: kwestionariuszową oraz pomiar aktograficzny aktywności ruchowej.Celem pracy była ocena związku pomiędzy wynikami polskiej adaptacji kwestionariusza Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) Horna i Ostberga [5] a dobową aktywnością ruchową mierzoną aktograficznie oraz porównanie i ocena przydatności obu metod w badaniach nad chronotypem. Ponadto, dokonano oceny związku pomiędzy chronotypem i czynnikami społeczno-demograficznymi, takimi jak: płeć, wiek i wykształcenie, w populacji polskiej.Badaniami objęto grupę 150 zdrowych ochotników obu płci, 75 kobiet i 75 mężczyzn w wieku 19-60 lat (34.25±12.13; EX±SD ).Uzyskane wyniki potwierdziły przydatność aktografii w badaniach nad chronotypem. Wyniki potwierdziły związek chronotypu z wiekiem oraz ujawniły różnice w aktywności dobowej między mężczyznami i kobietami.

“…Additionally, the National Sleep Foundation has found that 41% of adults consider themselves to be evening people, while 55% of adults consider themselves to be morning people (National Sleep Foundation, 2005). Numerous previous studies have shown that morning-typed individuals are generally healthier and at less of a risk for physical, psychological, and psychosomatic distresses as opposed to those who are evening-typed individuals (Cavallera & Giudici, 2007;Gianotti, Cortesi, Sebastiani, & Ottaviano, 2002;Mecacci & Rocchetti, 1998). Morning-typed individuals tend to have higher levels of self-regard, possessing greater self-esteem and conscientiousness (Jackson & Gerard, 1996).…”

Research has consistently found that college students report short sleep length and poor sleep quality. As a result of their poor sleep quality, there is concern that college students may struggle with issues associated with academic performance, physical health, and mental health. Previous research has investigated a multitude of factors that may contribute to poor sleeping behaviors, including sleep hygiene awareness and practices. The current study found that participants were obtaining less than the recommended average hours of sleep. Results indicated an almost equal number of participants reported poor sleep quality, average sleep quality, and good sleep quality. Results also indicated that between 40-50% of the sample reported difficulties related going to bed, falling asleep, maintaining sleep, reinitiating sleep, and returning to wakefulness. Although participants in the present study reported sleep hygiene awareness, their knowledge is not associated with their sleep practices. Based on these results, it may be implied that improving or increasing sleep hygiene knowledge is not an intervention that would be effective in improving sleep hygiene practices.

“…É possível notar que sujeitos I e MM apresentaram maiores escores em amabilidade e extroversão que os sujeitos MV, respectivamente. Esse estudo descreveu que pessoas com diferentes traços de personalidades possuem horas especifi cas para realizar suas atividades e que existe uma relação com o padrão de preferência comportamental do sono (Cavallera & Giudici, 2007;Díaz-Morales et al, 2007;Horne & Östberg, 1977;Mecacci, Righi, & Rocchetti, 2004;Mecacci et al, 1986;Neubauer, 1992;Schubert & Randler, 2008;Tankova et al, 1994;Vollmer & Randler, 2012). Ainda, os indivíduos com hábitos mais noturnos que apresentaram maiores escores em extroversão e amabilidade, traços que são caracterizados por comportamentos menos frios e indelicados, e com mais habilidades de adaptação às normas de um grupo a qual pertencem, mostraram-se mais ativos e entusiasmados.…”
