Abstract
Individuals with evening preference have a 1.55 times higher likelihood of being diagnosed with a substance use disorder compared to those with morning preference.
- Circadian rhythms influence important biological functions such as sleep and mood.
- Chronotype, or individual differences in circadian preference, may impact the risk of psychiatric disorders.
- Evening preference is linked to emotional dysregulation and impulsive behavior.
- The review synthesized clinical literature on the relationship between chronotype and substance use disorders.
- Evidence shows evening preference is associated with earlier onset and greater symptom severity of substance use disorders.
- Poorer treatment outcomes are also reported for individuals with evening preference.
