Can you hack your circadian rhythm to become an early riser? 

You may be genetically wired to stay up late at night but it’s possible to tweak your circadian rhythm so you wake up with the birds

Knowing your chronotype is useful to improve your sleeping pattern

We are diurnal creatures — it’s baked into our DNA. Our early ancestors rose with the sun and went to bed when it set. Over the millions of years since, light’s impact on our daily lives hasn’t changed.

There is a natural rhythm to our daily lives. This is preset by what’s called our chronotype — our genetic tendency to eat, exercise, and sleep at certain times of the day. By understanding and working with your chronotype, you can make the most of your day, identifying when you’re most productive and the best time to sleep.
