Abstract
The study involved 62 adolescents with a mean age of 13 years and 6 months.
- Morningness was associated with earlier sleep onset and wake-up times.
- Adolescents with a more evening character experienced shorter sleep duration on school days.
- Longer sleep duration on non-school days was observed in adolescents with a more evening character.
- Temperature acrophase occurred around 15:00 p.m. across all measurements.
- Stable correlations were found between morningness-eveningness character and sleep habits over three occasions.
