Chronotype Calculator (rMEQ)

Determine your chronotype using the reduced Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire.

Chronotype Calculator (rMEQ) at a glance

Rather than repeating a single reference figure, the Chronotype Calculator (rMEQ) below personalizes it: your own measurements feed the same published equation the reference ranges are built from.

Determine your chronotype using the reduced Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire. The page is written for people who re-measure over time: the result fits the same progress rhythm Macrition uses for weight and waist, so the number stays comparable with everything else you record.

About Chronotype Calculator (rMEQ)

Determine your chronotype using the reduced Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire.

This lifestyle calculator helps you assess and track the non-diet factors that drive long-term health. Sleep, stress, hydration, physical activity, and circadian alignment are equally important as nutrition, sometimes more so. Use this tool to identify areas for improvement and track progress over time.

Why lifestyle matters

Research consistently shows that lifestyle factors account for more variance in health outcomes than genetics. WHO Europe's synthesis of health-determinant research attributes roughly 36% of health outcomes to health behaviours, 24% to social circumstances, 22% to genetics, 11% to medical care, and 7% to the physical environment. Behaviour is the single largest share, and unlike genetics or circumstances it is the part you can act on today. Optimizing sleep, stress, hydration, and activity can dramatically improve metabolic health, cognitive performance, and longevity.

Evidence-based interventions

Each lifestyle factor has a large body of evidence supporting specific targets: 7-9 hours of sleep, 150 minutes of weekly exercise, 30 mL/kg of water, stress management practices, and consistent sleep/wake times. Use the related tools to dive deeper into each area.

Frequently asked questions

Use lifestyle calculators weekly to track trends. Single measurements are less useful than patterns over time.
Sometimes, but only under medical supervision. Never stop prescribed medication without consulting your healthcare provider.
Sleep has the broadest impact, it affects metabolism, immunity, cognition, and mental health. If you can only optimize one thing, start with sleep.
