Abstract
This daily diary study investigated the associations of temporal patterns of primary routines (eating and sleep), leisure activities, and work/study with emotional well-being in a sample of 187 adults (41.7% Males; Mage=29.6). Multilevel models revealed that higher variability of working time was associated with higher positive and lower negative affect.
