In gipsousp/mctq: Munich ChronoType Questionnaire Tools

Compute MCTQ local time of getting out of bed

Description

gu() computes the local time of getting out of bed for standard and shift versions of the Munich ChronoType Questionnaire (MCTQ).

Usage

gu(se, si)

Arguments

se	An hms object corresponding to the local time of sleep end from a standard or shift version of the MCTQ questionnaire.
si	A Duration object corresponding to the "sleep inertia" or time to get up from a standard or shift version of the MCTQ questionnaire.

Details

Standard MCTQ functions were created following the guidelines in Roenneberg, Wirz-Justice, & Merrow (2003), Roenneberg, Allebrandt, Merrow, & Vetter (2012), and from The Worldwide Experimental Platform (theWeP, n.d.).

\muMCTQ functions were created following the guidelines in Ghotbi et al. (2020), in addition to the guidelines used for the standard MCTQ.

MCTQ^{Shift} functions were created following the guidelines in Juda, Vetter, & Roenneberg (2013), in addition to the guidelines used for the standard MCTQ.

Class requirements

The mctq package works with a set of object classes specially created to hold time values. These classes can be found in the lubridate and hms packages. Please refer to those package documentations to learn more about them.

Rounding and fractional time

Some operations may produce an output with fractional time (e.g., "19538.3828571429s (~5.43 hours)", 01:15:44.505). If you want, you can round it with mctq:::round_time().

Our recommendation is to avoid rounding, but, if you do, make sure that you only round your values after all computations are done. That way you avoid round-off errors.

Value

An hms object corresponding to the vectorized sum of se and si in a circular time frame of 24 hours.

Guidelines

Roenneberg, Allebrandt, Merrow, & Vetter (2012), Juda, Vetter, & Roenneberg (2013), and The Worldwide Experimental Platform (n.d.) guidelines for gu() (GU) computation are as follows.

Notes

• This computation must be applied to each section of the questionnaire.

• MCTQ^{Shift} uses TGU (time to get up) instead of SI (sleep inertia). For the purpose of this computation, both represent the same thing.

• If you are visualizing this documentation in plain text, you may have some trouble understanding the equations. You can see this documentation on the package website.

For standard and micro versions of the MCTQ

GU_{W/F} = SE_{W/F} + SI_{W/F}

Where:

• GU_{W/F} = Local time of getting out of bed on work or work-free days.

• SE_{W/F} = Local time of sleep end on work or work-free days.

• SI_{W/F} = Sleep inertia on work or work-free days ("after ___ min, I get up").

* W = Workdays; F = Work-free days.

For the shift version of the MCTQ

GU_{W/F}^{M/E/N} = SE_{W/F}^{M/E/N} + TGU_{W/F}^{M/E/N}

Where:

• GU_{W/F}^{M/E/N} = Local time of getting out of bed between two days in a particular shift or between two free days after a particular shift.

• SE_{W/F}^{M/E/N} = Local time of sleep end between two days in a particular shift or between two free days after a particular shift.

• TGU_{W/F}^{M/E/N} = Time to get up after sleep end between two days in a particular shift or between two free days after a particular shift ("after ___ min, I get up").

* W = Workdays; F = Work-free days, M = Morning shift; E = Evening shift; N = Night shift.

Examples

## Scalar example

gu(hms::parse_hm("08:00"), lubridate::dminutes(10))
#> 08:10:00 # Expected
gu(hms::parse_hm("11:45"), lubridate::dminutes(90))
#> 13:15:00 # Expected
gu(hms::as_hms(NA), lubridate::dminutes(90))
#> NA # Expected

## Vector example

se <- c(hms::parse_hm("12:30"), hms::parse_hm("23:45"))
si <- c(lubridate::dminutes(10), lubridate::dminutes(70))
gu(se, si)
#> 12:40:00 # Expected
#> 00:55:00 # Expected
