Talk:Chronotype

message: I agree -- this is a pretty well-developed page (no longer start class, IMHO!). We will be adding links to other Wiki pages about specific measures and related topics in psychology, too. Looking forward to it!

message: I agree that chronic sleep deprivation isn't the key to whether extreme eveningness is a disorder or not.  Lots of people avoid the worst sleep deprivation by sleeping, say 4-7 a.m. plus 5-11 p.m.  However, this does not allow, IMO, normal participation in society.  The key, in any case, is whether one sufficient sleep episode within times considered to be normal, can or cannot be achieved.
Additionally, sleep-wake is not the only activity affected by chronotype; it's just the most obvious. Hordaland 16:18, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sleep deprivation 

message: I don't want to disrupt the authors' good work on this article, but I feel it should discuss segmented sleep. The article currently states: "Normal variation in chronotypes encompasses sleep/wake cycles that are from about two hours earlier to about two hours later than average;" add to this segmented sleep, "typically individuals slept in two distinct phases, bridged by an intervening period of wakefulness of up to an hour or more." A very simplistic view of this gives the following sleep pattern from various people in a social group, S=Sleeping, A=Awake:
:SSSSASSSSAAAA (-2)
:ASSSSASSSSAAA
:AASSSSASSSSAA
:AAASSSSASSSSA
:AAAASSSSASSSS (+2)
Notice that someone is awake at all times. This seems an important safety "feature".

These were merely the most easily Googled references. As I recall, an anthropologist living with an isolated, "unscheduled" tribe was pulling an all-nighter and noticed their segmented sleep, that is, noticed everyone spent a significant amount of time awake and active in the middle of the night. She(?) emailed all the other anthropologists working with isolated tribes: All(!) of them reported the same pattern.

thread_title:  Segmented Sleep 

message: IMO, the Munich Chronotype Questionnaire, MCTQ (Roenneberg 2003), deserves a good deal more attention here.  Also Till Roenneberg is worthy of an article in (English) Wikipedia; he's done some huge studies involving thousands of people.  --Hordaland (talk) 15:05, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: How strange.  I searched for 'till roe' and found nothing.  Looked at the German article on him & from there clicked 'English' and got to our article!  Software glitch?  We do have the article Till Roenneberg.  --Hordaland (talk) 15:16, 18 June 2014 (UTC)
