“…Firstly, there were some correlations among certain options in the questionnaire, such as sleep duration and daytime sleepiness, 13 or chronotype and insomnia symptoms. 14 Therefore, using this questionnaire to represent the severity of sleep problems might introduce some degree of bias. Furthermore, we believe that directly distinguishing between sleep durations of 7-8 h or not may be somewhat inappropriate and impotent to accurately differentiate the severity of sleep problems.…”

After reading the article written by Wang et al., we have encountered several concerns that may compromise the credibility of the article. There are some factors, such as changes in sleep patterns, glucose tolerance status, and the use of hypnotics, which may interfere with the research results. Additionally, the design of the sleep pattern could lead to biased outcomes. Therefore, we are writing this letter to recommend that further research should take these concerns into consideration.

Introduction: Individual differences in sleep-wake cycles give rise to 'morningness-eveningness' or 'chronotypes'. Chronotype preferences are governed by internal circadian rhythms and influenced by external cues. The assessment of chronotypes is essential for understanding these preferences, and the Reduced Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (rMEQ) has been developed for this purpose. The purpose of this study was to examine the Arabic rMEQ's psychometric properties in terms of validity, reliability and measurement invariance in young adults. Methods: Three hundred thirty Arabic-speaking participants from the general population of Lebanon, comprising 67.3% females with a mean age of 21.75 ± 2.43 years (range: 18-33), were recruited for this study. The participants were asked to fill out an online questionnaire consisting of the Arabic versions of the rMEQ, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Lebanese Anxiety Scale (LAS). Results: Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) indicated a modest fit for the one-factor model of the rMEQ. Internal reliability was good, with ω = .75 and α = .70. Additionally, cross-sex invariance analysis showed support for configural, metric, and scalar invariance, with no significant differences in rMEQ scores between males and females. Concurrent validity revealed significant moderate correlations between higher rMEQ scores and lower depression, better sleep quality, and lower anxiety. Conclusion: The Arabic version of the rMEQ demonstrated adequate psychometric properties in a Lebanese young adult population. The CFA results support a one-factor model, suggesting that the Arabic rMEQ measures the same underlying construct as the original version. Overall, the Arabic rMEQ appears to be a valid and reliable tool for evaluating morningness-eveningness in Arabic-speaking young adults, with potential applications in cross-cultural chronotype studies.
