AI simplified

Abstract

A sample of 820 Spanish adolescents aged 12-17 years revealed that those with a morning chronotype exhibited lower emotional eating scores.

  • Adolescents with morning chronotypes scored lower in overall emotional eating compared to those with intermediate chronotypes.
  • Specific emotional eating domains, including anxiety, depression, and restlessness, were also lower among morning chronotype adolescents.
  • Morning chronotype individuals showed significantly less restlessness than their evening chronotype peers.
  • The findings indicate a potential link between chronotype and emotional regulation in adolescents.
