Abstract
Chronotype and social jetlag may be linked to psychiatric symptoms and melatonin secretion in healthy adults.
- Different chronotypes, or preferred sleep-wake times, may influence the severity of psychiatric symptoms.
- Social jetlag, the discrepancy between an individual's biological clock and social obligations, could be associated with mental health challenges.
- Melatonin secretion patterns may vary based on chronotype and levels of social jetlag.
- Preliminary findings suggest that both chronotype and social jetlag are important factors in understanding mental health.
