Discover Your Sleep Chronotype

The Mango Effect Podcast

09. Ever tried to get up earlier in the day to join the 5am club because that's what all the "cool kids" were doing? Only to realize that your brain doesn't even want to go to sleep till 1am or 2am? What does that say about your character?
Society tells us that there's ONE way to be when it comes to the most ambitious achievers and some of the most productive humans on the planet -- it's to be a morning person. If you're a morning person, good for you! You already fall into this camp, but according to (aka the sleep doctor) that's only about 15% of the population. What about the rest of us? Like the other 85% who don't get up at 4am bright-eyed-and-bushy-tailed?
In this episode, we dig into the four different sleep chronotypes to figure out exactly WHEN we should be doing WHAT.

• Bears (50-55% of the population) - sleep and wake cycle goes according to the sun.
• Lions (15% of the population) - the early risers who go to bed earlier in the evenings.
• Wolves (15-20% of the population) - enjoy the evening hours and feel most productive later in the day.
• Dolphins (10% of the population) - light sleepers who tend to be easily disturbed and most likely to have insomnia.
