Abstract

Students with higher GPAs had higher chronotype scores (p = 0.002).

  • Chronotype is categorized into morning, intermediate, and evening types based on circadian rhythm characteristics.
  • A cross-sectional study involving 703 university students evaluated their chronotypes and academic performance.
  • Morning and intermediate chronotypes were associated with better academic performance compared to evening chronotypes.
  • Further research is needed to explore the underlying causes that could affect cognitive aspects related to chronotype.
