Activity:
The Sleep Medicine Center of Hospital Cuf have done an Awareness Campaign about OWLS and Larks (Evening and Morning people). For that we have made a short animated video with voice-over in Portuguese and English as well as brochures about chronotype and sleep rhythm disorders.
During the WSD we provided a reduced version of the Horne and Ostberg questionnaire to the general public at the Hospital.
On the same day we announced the beginning of a study with the collaboration of Debra Skene, where we are going to look at the prevalence of the different chronotypes and their association with other sleep parameters like sleep quality (PSQI), sleepiness(ESS) and social Jet-lag (MCTQ) in different contexts i.e. Health- (Hospital Cuf Porto) and Academic- (Poilitécnico do Porto) and also a Business context.
Interviews about the campaign and the study has been done on TV and in the daily press during the WSD.
