摘要
Circadian preference or chronotype has a genetic basis and is influenced by environmental variables. In adolescence, there is a dramatic shift towards eveningness or late chronotype, and this behavior has an influence on many outcome variables, such as school achievement, wellbeing, and health. On average, girls are more morning oriented than boys. This short review gives an overview of the factors that determine the individual biological rhythm and the associations with other outcomes. © 2016, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
