Do you know your chronotype? It could be essential! Are you dolphin, lion, wolf ...?

If you are working to get a raise, lose weight or a better sex life, there is something unexpected that could help you.Incredibly, the discovery of your chronotype could be the key to all types of success.A chronotype is the genetically predetermined classification of biorhythm of a particular person.Probably you will sound more typical notions such as "Pajaro mananeros", "night owl", and "hummingbird", although this is a newer concept that refers to people who keep a regular schedule.If you keep reading, you will see that the chronotype profiles no longer focus on birds, if not other animals.Do you know which one you fit in?

Do you know your chronotype? It could be essential! Are you dolphin, lion, wolf...?

The book "The power of Al," by sleep psychologist Michael Breus, explains how to understand and live according to your daily personal clock, which is influenced by hormones, enzymes and circulatory activity, which can help you live as optimally as possible."Not being in sync with your biorhythm is devastating to your physical, mental and emotional well-being," says Breus in his book.

After analyzing more than 200 research studies related to sleep and looking at their own patients with sleep disorders, Breus developed daily schedules adapted to each chronotype, and modernized the categories in mammals, instead of our friends with feathers.Here is the breakdown:

1.Delfines (10% of the world's population)

They have light dreams (they often suffer from insomnia) and usually wake up a little fresh, feeling tired until the tard and , when they experience a rise in energy .During the day they may have small "awakenings" that make them work better at once, and then return to their normal state.This profile usually fits a more introverted type of person.Dolphins are usually intelligent, prudent and, at certain times, somewhat neurotic.

2.Lions (15%-20% of the world's population)

The profile of the lion is that of the typical early riser .They are characterized by being optimistic and very practical.They are hardworking and usually wake up in the sun, if not before.of their energies, so easily reconcile the dream .

3.Bears (50% of the world's population)

Bears are usually people who They act cautiously, but with an open mind and very outgoing.When they get up they tend to be quite disoriented, but the energy lasts all day until the sun sets and reaches at night , then their forces begin to waver clearly.During the night they usually sleep soundly.Does your biorhythm sound like something? Being so many, the bears have shaped the current schedule of our society.

4.Lobos (15%-20% of the world population)

Wolves are a group formed by Very impulsive, creative and especially temperamental individuals.They are not afraid to take risks and seek self-pleasure.They are characterized by a clear stun in the hours before noon, but a peak of activity after midnight .Authentic wolves.

Do you know your chronotype? It could be essential! Are you dolphin, lion, wolf ...?

Once you know your chronotype, you can adopt all or part of the general Breus program , which offers the best time wake up, go to sleep, eat, take a break, exercise, compete in a team sport, go jogging, take medicine and even fight with a partner.

Breus, on the other hand, says what to drink coffee n Even more lifting them is absurd, since it does not have to fit with our biorhythm.Segun says, we must do it when our cortisol levels go down.In this sense, give an example around the Bears, if it is your case, you should know Your energy will be low between 9:30 AM and 11:30 AM, as well as between 1:30 PM and 5:30 PM.It's in those moments that you can afford extra energy, such as coffee or a cup from you.

Do you fancy a snack, although you shouldn't? Breus says that, in general, we should always do this in the morning, since it is the time when almost all chronotypes better metabolize what they ingest, except for lions, which they can do at noon, when they suffer a downturn of energy Something logical if they wake up at sunrise.

In the Breus book it is even detailed that we should ask for a salary increase on Fridays (and, in fact, specify the best time if you know the chronotype of your boss) and even talk about the best moments to have relationships according to your biorhythm and that of your partner, to get one of those experiences worthy of fireworks.Fascinating, right?

Your chronotype is genetically predetermined.It can be changed if necessary (for example to go to work), but it is difficult to deceive mother nature .With the author's advice, however, you may achieve the success of a way you would never have imagined.Do you know what your cronot is ipo? If you are not sure, you can do this test and find out.
