First seen Jul 13, 2026 · Last updated Jul 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This observational study looks at whether adults' sleep quality, sleep timing, and natural chronotype (morning vs. evening preference) are linked to how they share resources with others. Participants fill out sleep questionnaires, keep a 7-day sleep diary, and play a brief computer game where they make hypothetical allocation choices. The goal is to describe associations between everyday sleep patterns and prosocial behavior, without any treatment or sleep changes.
