Differences in Sleep Patterns and Learning Motivation in Medical Students
AI simplified
Abstract
Of 540 medical students, 26.7% identified as morning , while 12.7% identified as evening chronotypes.
- Evening chronotypes exhibited lower scores in intrinsic and extrinsic goal orientations, task value, and self-efficacy compared to morning chronotypes.
- Chronotype classification was based on the reduced Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (rMEQ).
- The study suggests a potential link between chronotype and among medical students.
- Evening-oriented students may benefit from a more flexible academic schedule.
- Shifting key courses to later in the day could enhance motivation for evening chronotype students.
