Past studies examining the effect of chronotype and social jetlag on psychological well-being have been inconsistent so far. Here, we recruited participants from the general population and enquired about their natural sleeping behavior, sleep quality, depressive symptoms, and perceived stress. Partial correlations were computed between sleep variables and indicators of psychological well-being, controlling for age and sex. Less sleep during work days was found a good indicator for impairments in psychological well-being. In exploratory follow-up analyses, the same correlations were calculated within groups of early, intermediate, and late chronotype. We observed that the composition of the sample in terms of chronotype influenced whether associations between sleep variables and psychological well-being could be observed, a finding that is advised to be taken into account in future studies.
迄今为止，过去研究生物钟类型和社交时差对心理健康影响的结果并不一致。在这里，我们从普通人群中招募了参与者，并询问了他们的自然睡眠行为、睡眠质量、抑郁症状和感知压力。在控制年龄和性别后，计算了睡眠变量与心理健康指标之间的部分相关。工作日睡眠较少被认为是心理健康受损的一个良好指标。在探索性的后续分析中，在早、中、晚三种生物钟类型的组内计算了相同的相关性。我们观察到，样本中生物钟类型的组成影响了睡眠变量与心理健康之间的关联是否可以被观察到，这一发现建议在未来的研究中加以考虑。
