What if I said that by knowing a secret you could sleep longer, wake up more refreshed and have more energy to do your daily tasks?
The secret to understanding your body is to know yourself. sleep chronotype.
As Australia’s leading sleep expert, I’ve written a book on this exact topic – Bear, Lion Or Wolf? Understanding Your Sleep Type Can Change Your Life. I would love to tell you all about your chronotype. This will help you sleep better, feel better and live a happier life.
What is a Sleep Chronotype?
The sleep chronotypes are actually quite simple, despite the fact that it sounds complicated. It’s a categorisation system for your circadian rhythm, which is either early, mid or late:
- People with a circadian phase that is early prefer to sleep and wake up early. (Lions).
- The mid phase people like to get up and go to bed at the same times (Bears).
- You probably guessed that those who have a late phase like to sleep in and get up late.
Your sleep chronotype is more than just your usual sleep-wake preference. It pinpoints peak periods of mental and physical productivity, your sleep needs and sleep saboteurs. Ideal sleep strategies are also identified.
