Also known as the “night owl,” the Wolf Chronotype is someone who generally likes being up when most other people are asleep.

But staying up late also means means that Wolves tend to sleep late. Wolves have a hard time being productive in the morning and usually require some extra sleep or some sort of jolt, like coffee or exercise, to get up to full speed.

The Wolf Chronotype comprises about 15-20% of the population. Many people who work late-night shifts are the Wolf type, which helps them stay productive when other chronotypes are in bed and sleeping.

Dolphin Chronotypes have a tendency towards insomnia and experience difficulties in falling and staying asleep. This Chronotype is aptly named as such because dolphins only sleep with half of their brain at a time.

People who fall into this category generally find themselves restless at night and often wake up feeling groggy in the morning. One of the main culprits of Dolphins' restlessness comes from rumination, or perpetual and obsessive thinking, making it challenging to fall asleep. To make matters more difficult, Dolphins also tend to wake frequently throughout the night.

Despite difficulty waking up, the Dolphin Chronotype has the most energy around mid-morning.

Lions love to stretch their creative claws bright and early. So as the "early bird" chronotype, Lions to bed early and get up even earlier.

The Lion Chronotype excels at getting tasks done before lunch, with an enormous energy burst occurring early to mid-morning. Waking up is easy for Lions, and they don't require tons of coffee or other outside energy boosts to get going in the morning.

The Bear Chronotype has the schedule that is most aligned with the sun—meaning its sleep-wake cycle is synced with the sun's rising and setting. Bear Chronotypes will begin to get sleepy as the sun sets in the early evening, and they rise with the sun in the morning.

Following this solar cycle means that Bear Chronotypes will not generally have any problem falling asleep or waking up in the mornings. Bears typically get 8 hours of sleep and will generally sleep between 11PM and 7AM.

Getting enough sleep is very important for Bear Chronotypes. If they don’t reach their optimum 8 hours, they may feel lethargic throughout the day and struggle to accomplish what they need to do.
