The aim of this study was to explore the circadian rhythm of affect, autonomy, competence, and relatedness in the at-home sleep environmental setting. Participants completed electronic questionnaires at 06:30 h, 16:00 h and 21:00 h for seven days. Ninety-six respondents participated. Among these, 70 were students (73.7%; of which 65.7% were 18-25 years of age, the remainder being 26 years old or more) and 25 nonstudents (26.3%; all 26 years old or more), with one person neglecting to report such status. A total of 24 (25.0%) respondents had full-time jobs during the data collection, 51 (53.1%) had a part-time job, and 21 (21.9%) did not have a job. There was significant difference between times of day for positive affect, autonomy frustration, and competence frustration. This included an increase in positive affect from morning to afternoon, and reduction in autonomy frustration and competence frustration from afternoon to evening. Chronotype was not related to the daily variations in the studies psychological variables. We conclude that although there are some intra-daily variations in some of the basic needs, these are not as strong as those seen for positive affect, in terms of consistency across several days.
