In this week's episode Lance and Jacklyn teach listeners about chronotypes. What it is and how to determine your chronotype so that you can get the best sleep of your life.
A through line in our episodes is learning more about what makes you you and how to thrive by living a life that caters to your specific strengths and tendencies.
According to the sleepdoctor.com, chronotype dictates our body’s natural tendency to fall asleep and wake up at a certain time of day. Our biological clock is influenced by the presence of bright light and more specifically, the production of melatonin. But not everybody falls asleep when the sun goes down—chronotypes are the explanation for some people tending to stay up till the sun rises and others nodding off on the couch before ever even making it to their bed.

Your chronotype comes from the length of your PER3 gene and is dependent on
genetic, environmental, and age-related factors.
Your chronotype influences hormone levels, metabolic function, and body temperature, to name a few.
Each Chronotype will reveal exactly what you need to do to work with your body, not against it.
