Chronotype, Exercise Timing Preference, Dietary and Health-Related Behaviours: are they related?

Researchers at Ulster University would like to recruit people aged 18 years and above, who are a resident in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and have a body mass index (BMI) of 25 kg/m2 or more to take part in a study investigating links between people's natural sleep patterns (whether you're a morning or evening person), eating habits, exercise routines, and daily lifestyle.

Participants will complete an anonymous online survey that will take no longer than 20 minutes. The survey consists of the following sections: 

1. Participant information (age, sex, ethnicity, country of residence)
2. Sleep (wake timing preferences) 
3. Exercise timing preference 
4. Eating behaviours and food cravings
5. Lifestyle factors 

Full study details can be found within the participant information sheet here.
