Commonly asked questions

The Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) is a self-assessment tool that measures an individual's circadian preference, or their natural inclination to be more of a "morning person" (morning-type) or an "evening person" (evening-type). It assesses an individual's preferred timing for sleep, wakefulness, and daily activities.

An "intermediate" result on the MEQ indicates that the individual does not strongly prefer either morning or evening schedules. They exhibit a more balanced circadian rhythm and can easily adapt to both.

The MEQ consists of 19 multiple-choice questions that assess various aspects of an individual's sleep-wake preferences and daily habits. Each question is scored on a scale, and the total score ranges from 16 to 86. Scores are then categorized as morning-type (59-86), intermediate-type (42-58), or evening-type (16-41), indicating the individual's circadian preference.
