NEW STUDY: Results “challenge the notion that evening chronotype is a risk factor for psychiatric disorders per se, suggesting instead that evening types are at a greater risk for psychiatric disorders due to circadian misalignment"🦉⏰ @anguscburns @circadian247 @jlane_boston @FIMM_UH https://t.co/vvofypklr7
