The researcher used the descriptive approach to suit the nature of the study. The researcher used the modified and translated "Osteberg form" to determine the biological rhythm pattern and the creative thinking scale prepared by the researcher. The study tools were applied to a sample of (15) male and female students who were selected intentionally, and they were divided into (7) students with a morning biological rhythm pattern, and (8) students with an evening biological rhythm pattern. The basic study of the research was conducted on the sample, where the measurements were conducted for the sample twice, once in the morning at 8 am, and the other in the evening at 8 pm. The study concluded that the skill of fluency in thinking and the skill of intellectual flexibility as one of the distinctive characteristics of creative thinking are better for those with a morning biorhythm pattern in the morning, the skill of fluency in thinking and the skill of intellectual flexibility are better for those with an evening biorhythm pattern in the evening, the skill of originality of thinking does not differ for those with a morning and evening biorhythm patterns, whether in the morning period or the evening period.
