Neuroimaging of chronotype, sleep quality and daytime sleepiness: Structural T1-weighted magnetic resonance brain imaging data from 136 young adults

The dataset contains structural T1-weighted magnetic resonance brain imaging data from 136 young individuals (87 females; age range from 18 to 35 years old) along with questionnaire-assessed measurements of trait-like chronotype, sleep quality and daytime sleepiness. The recruitment criteria excluded individuals with self-reported history of psychiatric or neurological conditions and current medication use. All the brain imaging sessions were performed between 5:20 PM and 8:55 PM in order to control the effect of time of day on acquired images. The data is mostly useful to scientists interested in circadian rhythmicity. It can be deployed in large-scale multicenter meta-analyzes investigating the structural brain correlates of chronotypes in humans. Additionally, the data could be of use in investigations into the effects of sleeping habits and latitude on brain anatomy. (c) 2022 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Inc.
