The time of day that suits the best an individual for physical and cognitive activity, as well as their peak of performance, is determined by the circadian type. During the period of adolescence, young adults experience a peak in eveningness in contrast to morningness. They tend to fall asleep later at night and sleep in longer in the morning. Investigations indicate that evening-oriented students obtain worse results at school. The suggestion of this research project is focused on comparing both chronotype with the presence of sleep deprivation in adolescents.
