    Are You a Night Owl or Early Bird? Optimize Sleep, Energy, and Wellness Based On Your Chronotype | The Quickie

    Are you a night owl, early bird, or something in between? The key to better sleep, more energy, and improved wellness might be in understanding your chronotype — your body’s natural biological clock. We’re diving into the science of chronotypes and how understanding yours can help you optimize your sleep schedule, energy, focus, and mood, without forcing yourself into a routine that leads to “social jet lag”. (For night owls who struggle with early mornings, this is the validating episode you deserve!) Whether you’re a Bear, Lion, Wolf, or Dolphin (based on Dr. Michael Breus’ sleep research), your chronotype determines when you’re wired to wake up, feel alert, and perform at your best. But most of us are living out of sync with our internal clock. So how do we hack it? It’s time to stop fighting your biology and learn how to work with your natural rhythms. Tune in to learn about: 🌙 What your chronotype says about your sleep patterns, focus, and productivity ☀️ The best time to sleep, eat, and work for each archetype (Bear, Lion, Wolf, and Dolphin) 🧠 How to optimize your circadian rhythm for better sleep and energy ⚡ How to reduce “social jet lag” and feel more aligned with your internal clock 💡 Lifestyle tips for improving sleep hygiene, light exposure, and reduced screen time If you want to figure out how to wake up with energy, fix your sleep schedule, or get more productive during peak energy windows, this Quickie is for you.

    Have you ever stayed in a job, relationship, or situation that’s making you unhappy just because you’ve already invested so much time, money or effort into it? GIRL, SAME.
