Chronotype Quiz
Are you a morning lark or a night owl?
Wide awake at 5 am, or only getting going at midnight? This test maps your natural sleep-wake preference with the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ). 19 quick questions.
Morning lark or night owl?
Sharpest at 6 am, or do you only really wake up after 11 pm? Your chronotype — the natural preference for when to sleep and when to be active — sets your daily energy peaks, and it's largely inborn.
What this test measures
The Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) maps your sleep-wake preference. Horne and Östberg published it in 1976. This site uses the official self-assessment version from the Center for Environmental Therapeutics (CET): 19 questions covering your preferred bedtime, wake time, and peak-alertness hours. It doesn't judge when you "should" sleep — it records what your body actually prefers.
How to read your score
Total scores run from 16 to 86, split into five bands:
- 16-30: definite evening type
- 31-41: moderate evening type
- 42-58: intermediate type
- 59-69: moderate morning type
- 70-86: definite morning type
