Abstract: 
A circadian cycle is an endogenous, healthy process that regulates the cycle of sleep and waking. A sleep cycle disturbance could cause a number of different health problems. Depending on their morning and evening characters, people vary. By administering the trans-adapted morningness and eveningness questionnaires, the purpose of the present was to assess the various personality types. The study included a total of 300 participants, who were aged from 20 to 35 years. All participants were asked to read the questions carefully and mark the appropriate responses. Reliability tests, intraclass, interitem correlation, and an ANOVA with a post hoc test were all used to statistically analyze the data that was obtained. A Cronbach alpha (α =0.94) was found in the results, indicating very good correlation between the items. The results of an ANOVA and a post hoc analyses indicated that there is a highly significant difference between morning and evening types. Finally, the author concluded that using the morningness and eveningness questionnaire in Telugu is highly reliable. Further investigation of language variations and gender is required.
