Key Points

To investigate the relationship between chronotype and headache types in a population study.
Population study comparing individuals with migraine, tension-type headache, and non-headache controls.
Assessment of chronotype using morningness-eveningness scales.
Analysis of headache frequency and severity in relation to chronotype.
Evening chronotype more prevalent in migraine and tension-type headache sufferers compared to controls.
Greater morningness correlated with increased severe headache days in the migraine group, not in tension-type headache.

Participants with migraine and tension-type headache showed a significantly higher prevalence of evening chronotype compared with the nonheadache controls. However, greater morningness was associated with more severe headache days in the migraine group but not in the tension-type headache group.
