Céline Vetter, an assistant professor at the University of Colorado at Boulder and director of the university’s circadian and sleep epidemiology lab, told The New York Times that a whopping 80 percent of employees may work a schedule that’s not in sync with their natural clocks. Problem is, most of us aren’t actually built to wake that early, especially if there’s a long commute involved. ![]() Many employees are still expected to be working from 9am and until 5pm (or later). Having a daily schedule that doesn’t match your body clock has also been connected to poor mental performance and difficulty making good decisions. Not sleeping during your body’s biological night has been linked to psychiatric disorders, diabetes, and heart problems. Need some proof? The 2017 Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded to three researchers for their discoveries about the molecular mechanisms controlling the body’s circadian rhythm. Recent evidence suggests there may actually be at least two more chronotypes.Īvian analogies aside, chronobiology – the science of the biological clock that is governed by the light-dark cycle – is legitimate. These designations are known as chronotypes – circadian personalities based on your optimal time to fall asleep and wake up. You’ve probably heard of larks and owls – early and late risers, respectively – and you probably relate to one bird’s bedtime preferences over the other. ![]() Take our chronotype quiz to learn how to structure your ideal workday.Optimizing your deep work blocks, as well as your sleep and wake times, can profoundly affect your productivity levels and your overall well-being.Chronobiology – the science of our bodies’ biological clocks – has strong implications for our ideal work schedule.T-K is at Poinsettia Elementary.
