Data were analyzed taking into account normality tests, estimating descriptive and dispersion statistics, using Chi square for nominal variables and Pearson’s correlation index for numerical variables (p ≤ 0.05). Results and discussion: The students presented an intermediate chronotype trend and an academic average of 3.766 ± 0.259; the chronotype and time of device use presented statistical significance, determining high correlations for the variables studied. Conclusions: A high association between chronotype and academic performance was demonstrated, indicating that in this population screen time affects the sleep-wake relationship, an indicator for the generation of strategies aimed at promoting health and strengthening student performance.
