The goal of this study is to assess differences in chronotype and sleep quality between infertile and fertile people. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted. The infertile patient population consisted study group. Primiparous patients without any known gynecological disease who presented for routine cervical cancer screening follow-up were included in the control group. The Turkish version of the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores were evaluated between groups. RESULTS: A total of 227 patients were assessed. There were 110 patients in the study (infertile) group and 117 patients in the control (fertile) group. The evening chronotype proportion (23.6 vs. 0.9%, p < 0.001) was higher in the infertile group. The median of MEQ score was significantly higher in the fertile patients (50, IQR = 43 - 55 vs. 56, IQR = 51 - 59; p < 0.001), and the median of PSQI score was significantly higher in the infertile patients (5, IQR = 4 - 6, vs. 4, IQR = 3 - 5; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we found significantly worse sleep quality, and more evening chronotype in the patients with infertility.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTıpCerrahi Tıp BilimleriKadın Hastalıkları ve DoğumSosyal ve Beşeri BilimlerPsikolojiKlinik PsikolojisiSağlık BilimleriMedicineSurgery Medicine SciencesObstetrics and GynecologySocial Sciences and HumanitiesPsychologyClinical PsychologyHealth SciencesKlinik Tıp (MED)Temel Bilimler (SCI)Klinik TıpPsikiyatriANDROLOJİKADIN HASTALIKLARI & DOĞUMPSİKOLOJİ, KLİNİKClinical Medicine (MED)Natural Sciences (SCI)CLINICAL MEDICINEPSYCHIATRYPSYCHOLOGYANDROLOGYOBSTETRICS & GYNECOLOGYPSYCHOLOGY, CLINICALÜreme TıbbıKlinik PsikolojiSosyal Bilimler ve Beşeri BilimlerDoğum ve JinekolojiPsikiyatri ve Ruh SağlığıReproductive MedicineSocial Sciences & HumanitiesPsychiatry and Mental HealthchronotypeInfertilityMEQPSQIsleep qualityarticle10.1080/0167482x.2022.21485233648072721485232148523441
