Circadian rhythms are near-24 h patterns of physiology and behavior associated with several physical mental health outcomes. Self-report questionnaires routinely used practical tools to assess circadian rhythms. However, the extent which these capture relevant parameters can be interchangeably is unknown. We investigated different types manifestations using 14 self-report for adults. A systematic hierarchical content analysis was combined a visualization method. Jaccard indices were calculated quantify degree overlapped. Content revealed 40 distinct manifestations, we classified into five dimensions ("circadian phase," "circadian amplitude stability," "nycthemeral timing," regularity," complaints"). The average index 0.150, indicating very weak overlap. None explored all dimensions. Composite Scale Morningness Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire exhibited greater, but still limited, overlap other (Jaccard 0.255 0.251, respectively), best instruments assessing phase. Nycthemeral timing, must analyzed measure misalignment in clinical research settings, only by Munich Chronotype Questionnaire, that instrument does not evaluate stability partially assesses nycthemeral regularity. Based on our preliminary analysis, make recommendations regarding circumstances some could prove more useful than others. results might also aid definition investigation at crossroads behavior.
