Biological rhythms have long been a focus of the investigation, and sleep chronotype is one study area. Many studies have shown that the morning-type sleep chronotype is a protective factor for psychological well-being, while the evening-type sleep chronotype is associated with psychological distress. This paper aims to summarize and elucidate recent research on the impact of sleep chronotype on psychological well-being and to explore possible underlying mechanisms at the neural level. Finally, directions for future research are highlighted.
