Sleep Chronotypes<\/p>\n

Are you always tired? Sleep expert Dr Michael Breus breaks down the 4 chronotypes to master your sleep, how to fix insomnia. the truth about sleep apnea and why the 8 hour myth is wrong!<\/p>\n

Knowing your chronotype can tell you what time of day is best for different activities.<\/p>\n

Lions (10-15% of us) are early birds. 4:30-6:30 am risers. They are one chronotype – they make melatonin earlier in the evening. 9:30 to 11:30 is the sweet spot for intellectual horsepower.<\/p>\n

Bears (50-55% of us) wake at 7, most productive 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, sleep at 11 pm.<\/p>\n

Wolf types (15% of us) are night owls. Creative thinkers, most productive in the afternoon and like to go to bed late. Wake 7:30 am to 9:00 am, most productive between 1 and 5 pm and retire at midnight. They make melatonin later in the evening. Highest risk takers. Hate mornings.<\/p>\n

Dolpins (10% of us) wake at 6, most productive between 3:00 pm and 7:00 pm and go to bed at 11. They are sensitive sleepers with a fragmented sleep pattern and rarely keep a regular sleep schedule. Intelligent, well read, good talkers, anxious, detail oriented.<\/p>\n

The quiz to determine your chronotype is at: chronoquiz.com<\/p>\n

Adrenalin and cortisol are the two hormones that wake you up each morning.<\/p>\n

Sugar slows the production of melatonin. Don’t eat for three hours before bed.<\/p>\n

15-20 ounces of water as soon as possible after waking is best to rehydrate after sleep.<\/p>\n

75% of the reasons people don’t sleep well is stress or fear.<\/p>\n

Home sleep tests.<\/p>\n

Get to sleep OK but wake and cannot get back to sleep<\/p>\n

If you are underslept and need to be sharp, coffee then nap for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n
