Association of chronotype and sleep behaviors with mental well-being, eating behaviors, and adiposity traits: a cross-sectional study among a sample of urban Malaysian adults

Although chronotype and sleep behaviors did not differ between sexes, those with a morning chronotype had lower overall, central and visceral adiposity, better well-being and self-control. Those with good sleep behaviors also had better well-being, eating and appetitive behaviors. In conclusion, this study supports the continuous advocacy for a morning-chronotype and good sleep behaviors for better physical and mental health.
