Studies have shown that Evening-Type (ET) subjects used more stimulating and
sedative substances, and presented more psychiatric disorders than Morning-Type
(MT) subject. However, there is a lack of data on the chronotype of patients with
addiction. The aim of our study was to describe chronotype and associated factors
in a sample of outpatients beginning treatment for addiction. Subjects were
assessed with the Morningness-Eveningness questionnaire of Hörne & Ostberg, the
Addiction Severity Index and the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview.
In the 333 subjects with an addiction, 20% were MT and 32% were ET. When
comparing ET to MT, multivariate analysis showed that ET was significantly
associated with poly-problematic addiction, non-substance addictions, cannabis
addiction, and mood disorders, but not with severity of addiction. MT was
associated with antisocial personality disorder. Results suggested that
chronotype was associated with specific addiction pattern and psychiatric
disorders.
