Chronotypes

Chronotypes are natural tendencies that determine when a person’s peak alertness and energy occur during the day. They influence whether someone is a morning person ("lark"), an evening person ("owl"), or somewhere in between. These biological rhythms are shaped by our internal body clock, primarily governed by the circadian system, which affects sleep-wake patterns, hormone release, and body temperature. Recognizing your chronotype can help optimize daily activities, improve sleep quality, and boost overall well-being by aligning tasks with your natural energy peaks.
