Hello everyone,

How are you today? emoticon cute

Though we can't hear it tick, our body has its own internal clock - the circadian rhythm. Our personal circadian rhythms, or "chronotypes" vary from person to person but may also run in families. The two main chronotypes are what we commonly refer to as "early birds", those who tend to go to bed and wake up early, and "night owls", those who tend stay up and wake up late.

If you'd like to learn more, don't hesitate to read our article: Can waking up early benefit our health?

What about you? Are you more of an early bird or a night owl? Has that changed as you've aged? Would like to be one more than the other? Have you ever tried to change your sleep cycle?

Take care,
Courtney

Since a very young kid, I have always awakened early. Living in the fraternity house during my college years, I was always the earliest up in the morning, made the morning coffee , and read the morning paper before anyone else got up.

Our bodies have an internal clock – the circadian rhythm. Some of us are early birds 🐦, others night owls 🦉.

💬 Which one are you? Has it changed with age? Would you like to be the other type? Have you ever tried to shift your sleep schedule?

Take care,
Somya from the Carenity team 💛
