So…what’s your chronotype?
That’s probably not a question you get everyday, right?
Did you know that you have your own individual circadian rhythm?
It’s called your chronotype, and whether you are genetically an early bird or a night owl can have a dramatic effect on how you approach your day.

Society tends to reward early birds, while the night owls of the world often need to find workarounds to fit in.
Understand that people who flex on getting up early, trumpeting the old army slogan that they do more before 9 a.m. than most people do all day—it’s probably in their DNA.
If you aren’t sure where you fit in, you can check out this Morning-Evening questionnaire (MEQ). It can give you some insight on your personal chronotype: very early morning, morning, middle evening, and late-evening.
Try not to fight against your own biology if at all possible. If you are obviously an early bird or a night owl, you should use this information to help you to make choices in your life—for work, hobbies, exercise, and other activities.
