Munich Chronotype Questionnaire

The Munich Chronotype Questionnaire is a tool used by scientists and doctors to figure out if someone is a morning person or a night owl. It's a bunch of questions that ask you things like when you like to go to bed and wake up, and how much energy you have during the day and at night.

This information helps scientists understand how our bodies work when it comes to sleep. Some people naturally like to go to bed early and wake up early, while others prefer to stay up late and wake up late the next day. This is called your "chronotype."

Knowing your chronotype can help you understand why you might feel more awake and alert at different times of the day. It can also help you figure out how to schedule your activities and work to match your energy levels. So, scientists use the Munich Chronotype Questionnaire to get a better idea of how people's bodies work when it comes to sleep and energy levels.
