Contemporary literature suggests circadian rhythm has a significant effect on performance for evening chronotypes in secondary and tertiary education. This study conducts a survey on university students (n = 39) to determine chronotype distribution and compare with other nations. The study demonstrates similar results in comparison with other nations and suggests further research on strategies to mitigate the chronotype based performance discrepancy. The performance aspect of the research (n = 20) hypothesized that morning types will perform better in the morning (compared to evening types) and evening types will perform better in the afternoon (compared to morning types). Analysis of the relationship appeared with non- significant support to the hypotheses. It is expected that further research on this area my gain guidance from this study, and may benefit the learning prospects of New Zealand students
