#04 Chronotype: Part 1

Your chronotype is strongly determined by your genes. And therefore, it's somewhat hard-wired at birth. In other words, your chronotype fate is genetically predetermined and deep-rooted to a degree.

On average, men are more evening types than women with men wishing to go to bed around 30 minutes later in the evening and wake up 30 minutes later.

Evening types will have, on average, a two-hour delay in when their body, biologically, will want to wake up relative to morning types; and their body drop in temperature, which is critical for sleep, is also delayed by about two hours in the evening relative to morning types.
