MCTQ Variable Computation

- The document defines variables used to compute chronotype (morningness-eveningness) based on self-reported sleep/wake times on workdays and work-free days. - It lists basic variables like bedtime, sleep latency, wake time, and computed variables like sleep onset, duration, and mid-sleep on workdays and work-free days. - Additional computed variables include average weekly sleep duration, chronotype (based on mid-sleep on free days), weekly sleep loss, social jetlag (differences in mid-sleep times), and average weekly light exposure.
