How sleep affects your entire life! Do you know your sleep chronotype?

Good morning America 🇺🇸🐮☕️🐈‍⬛
and all my friends from across the globe!🌎❤️

Ya girl slept almost 9 hours & didn’t get up until 815! Holy sh*t Pete & I actually had good lighting for a decent picture☀️😄

I can’t stress enough how important sleep is. As someone with Crohn’s disease I’ve noticed over the years sleep is the number one factor that affects the way I feel throughout the day AND my ability to achieve specific body goals including fat loss.

It affects my gut flares, digestion, performance in the gym, cravings, hunger, & my ability to give fcks about things I really need to get fcks about.🤷‍♀️

— And it makes me a much nicer human 👀

As far as how I manage sleep:
I shoot for an average of 7 solid hours of sleep a night. I’m typically asleep by 845ish PM.

On workdays I get up at 4 AM, Im at the gym training by 5 AM, at work by 6:45am. Work 7am-7pm.

Did you know there are #SleepChronotypes ? I AM A LION🦁

I came across @thesleepdoctor years ago! There are 4 genetic chronotypes that describe sleep patterns.

These Chronotypes affect your metabolism, productivity, creativity, & most of all your energetic, mental + physical health.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Some people are genetically wired:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉To sleep half awake & alert, light sleepers, have a low sleep drive.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 To be morning oriented driven optimists with a medium sleep drive. True morning person – wake up & shine.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 Prefer a solar based sleep schedule, awake with the sunrise, wind down with the sunset, have a high sleep drive.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
👉 To be night oriented people with a medium sleep drive. They get a second wind after sunset & want to complete projects and/or have a creative rush.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

It helped me not only understand myself but also how to schedule my day to better serve my health, happiness, AND as a result👉increase my success in life!

He has a 3 minute quiz to see if you are a lion (morning bird), bear (sun up to sun down rhythm, most common), wolf (night owl) or a dolphin (who are all over the place as far as sleep needs).⁣
