By just knowing your chronotype, the genetic coding for when you get the best sleep, Dr. Michael Breus can tell you everything from the perfect time of day to drink coffee to when you should have sex. We’ll explore how knowing what kind of sleeper you are can unlock the ability to hack every aspect of your life.
Key Takeaways:
- Sleep’s Two Components: Dr. Michael Brues explained that sleep is composed of two separate processes: sleep drive and sleep rhythm.
- How Sleep Restores Us: Deep sleep is for physical restoration, and REM sleep is for mental restoration and emotional metabolism.
- The Value of Good Sleep: Sleep affects every organ system and disease state. Everything you do, you do better with a good night's sleep.
- The Eight Hour Myth: Sleep need is based on age, stress, and other factors. The notion of eight hours of sleep being ideal is a myth.
- An Optimal Sleep Schedule: There are four chronotypes: lions (early birds), bears (average), wolves (night owls), and dolphins (erratic sleepers). Each has an optimal sleep schedule.
