Morning larks vs night owls: does your body clock distort time?
NCT ID NCT07677111
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates whether the match between a person's chronotype (morning or evening preference) and the time of day influences how they perceive time. Healthy adults who are clear morning or evening types complete perception and cognition tasks both early in the morning and late in the evening. By testing participants across three countries, the study aims to see if circadian effects on time perception are universal.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If it works, this could reveal how our body clock shapes our sense of time, potentially informing work schedules or therapies for circadian rhythm disorders.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study with no treatment, so it won't directly change medical practice. Results may vary across cultures and may not apply to everyone.
