Rationality around the clock. Sleep and time-of-day effects on guessing game responses

We administer a unique online version of the Guessing Game where subject responses are collected across all 24 hours of the day.

These results have implications for shift workers and others whose constraints or choices lead to adverse sleep parameters. Key Words:
