Özet:

 Objective: This study was planned to investigate the relationship between chronotype, sleep quality, and night eating syndrome in university students. Material and Methods: A total of 300 students aged between 19 and 30 participated in the study. Socio-demographic characteristics, dietary habits, Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Night Eating Questionnaire data were collected through faceto-face interviews. Data analysis was performed using SPSS 26 statistical package. Results: According to individuals chronotypes, 18.3 were morning type, 64.0 intermediate type, and 17.7 evening type. Regarding sleep quality, 97.0 of the participants had poor sleep quality, while 3.0 had good sleep quality. According to the Night Eating Questionnaire, 98.3 of individuals did not exhibit night eating syndrome. Evening type students had higher median values in the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Night Eating Questionnaire compared to morning and intermediate types p0.001. There was a weak negative correlation between the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index r-0.367, p0.001, and a moderate negative correlation between the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire and the Night Eating Questionnaire r-0.450, p0.001. Conclusion: The chronotype has been observed to be an essential factor influencing individuals sleep patterns and eating behaviors. Therefore, it is crucial to take appropriate measures to improve the sleep patterns of university students and promote healthy eating habits. Keywords: Body mass index, night eating syndrome, circadian rhythm, sleep.

 Amaç: Bu araştırma üniversite öğrencilerinin kronotipi ile uyku kalitesi ve gece yeme sendromu arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amacıyla planlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmaya 1930 yaş aralığında 300 öğrenci katılmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan bireylerin sosyodemografik özellikleri, beslenme alışkanlıkları, Sabahçıl-Akşamcıl Anketi, Pittsburg Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi, Gece Yeme Anketi verileri anket formu kullanılarak yüz yüze görüşme tekniğiyle toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizi SPSS 26 istatistik paket programı ile yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Bireylerin kronotiplerine göre 18,3ü sabahçıl tip, 64,0ü ara tip, 17,7si akşamcıl tiptir. Uyku kalitesine göre 97,0si kötü, 3,0ü iyi uyku kalitesine sahiptir. Gece Yeme Anketine göre bireylerin 98,3ünde gece yeme sendromu bulunmamıştır. Akşamcıl tip öğrencilerin Pittsburg Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi ve Gece Yeme Anketi ortanca değerleri, sabahçıl ve ara tipe sahip öğrencilerden daha yüksektir p0,001. Bireylerin SabahçılAkşamcıl Anketi ve Pittsburg Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi değerleri arasında negatif yönde zayıf derecede anlamlı ilişki r-0,367, p0,001, SabahçılAkşamcıl Anketi ve Gece Yeme Anketi arasında negatif yönde orta derecede anlamlı ilişki r-0,450, p0,001 saptanmıştır. Sonuç: Kronotipin, bireylerin uyku düzeni ve yeme davranışlarını etkileyen önemli bir faktör olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Bu nedenle, üniversite öğrencilerinin uyku düzenlerini iyileştirmek ve sağlıklı beslenme alışkanlıklarını teşvik etmek amacıyla uygun önlemlerin alınması önem taşımaktadır.
