The expert spoke about the connection between healthy sleep and chronotypes

Healthy sleep is closely related to 4 chronotypes human: wolf, bear, lion and dolphin. Somnologist Olivia Arezzolo from Sydney (Australia) told the Daily Mail about this.

According to the magazine «Profile», citing Arezzolo, all chronotypes have different needs for recovery. For example, a lion that goes to bed and gets up early usually requires less sleep than a bear. And wolves fall asleep late at night — and prefer to sleep at least until 9 am.

Bears, the expert says, most often get up at 7 am and have the habit of drinking coffee to cheer up — but they finally wake up not earlier than 10. K By the way, they make up 55% of the population.

The dolphin, according to Arezzolo, is «a typical insomniac.» He, according to the somnologist, does not have an established daily routine: sometimes dolphins can sleep for 2 hours, and sometimes for 10.

The expert added that genes are no less important, and cited the example of a study according to which people with a DEC2 gene mutation sleep for about 6 hours — much less than those without DEC2. They sleep for about 8 hours.
