Core Tip Altınöz et al identified that dysfunctional sleep beliefs affect academic performance indirectly through impaired sleep quality, with evening-type students being particularly vulnerable. This commentary underscores the novelty of incorporating cognitive distortions into chronobiological models of student achievement and emphasizes that interventions should target modifiable beliefs and sleep quality. Future research should employ longitudinal and multi-method designs, while educational policy reforms should integrate chronotype-sensitive scheduling and cognitive-behavioral strategies to enhance both sleep health and academic success in high-pressure learning environments.
