Summary
This paper investigates the genetic bases of diurnal preference and mental health, focusing on the impact of chronotype on mental health, sleep quality, and academic performance, and the potential benefits of chronotype-based interventions.
Categories
Depression: The paper discusses the association of chronotype with depression, suggesting that those on the late (evening) end of the spectrum can be more prone to mental health issues.
Cognitive function and memory: The paper explores the relationship between chronotype and fluid intelligence, finding that evening-type individuals often perform better on fluid intelligence tests.
Sleep and insomnia: The paper examines the impact of chronotype on sleep quality, noting that social jet-lag often experienced by evening-type individuals can negatively affect sleep quality.
Education and learning: The paper investigates the impact of chronotype on academic performance, suggesting that the COVID-19-related lockdowns negatively affected the self-perceived academic performance of students.
Well-being: The paper discusses the impact of chronotype and the COVID-19-related lockdowns on well-being, suggesting that these factors can have a negative effect on mental well-being.
