I'm a Wolf (Sleep Chronotype)
Sunday, August 27, 2023What is a sleep chronotype?
Sleep chronotype quiz
- Introverted, reserved, creative, insightful, artistic, impulsive, emotionally intense.
- Can usually be left alone; don’t respond well if they are micromanaged or asked too many questions.
- Desires sleeping
in (definitely not a morning person).
- Prefers to wake up later in the day, snoozes the alarm relentlessly most of the time.
- Prefers to cruise through the morning and takes time to get going in the morning before adjusting to the day's demands.
- Creativity, productivity, and performance peak late into the afternoon to evening. Therefore, to optimize productivity, wolves should save essential tasks until the afternoon.
- Most productive at night, enjoy working after hours when the rest of society is winding down for the evening.
- Don't start feeling tired until midnight, prefers to stay up late and go to bed past midnight ("night owl").
So accurate! It's very true that I get most of my day's tasks done in the evening, especially when the office is devoid of people. Hahaha! Then, I also really enjoy working late at night because that's when my productivity is at its peak and the world is quiet and I can think and strategize.
Best schedule for a wolf
According to MindBodyGreen, a wolf should resist the urge to sleep late and try to get at least 7 hours of sleep to be able to perform their best.
Here's a recommended schedule according to Casper.com.
- 7:30am - 9:00am : Wake up
- 10:00am - 12:00pm : Focus on lighter tasks
- 12:00pm - 2:00pm : Complete deep or creative work
- 2:00pm - 5:00pm : Focus on lighter, less intense tasks
- 5:00pm - 9:00pm : Engage in creative tasks
- 9:00pm - 10:00pm : Unwind from the day
- 10:00pm - 12:00am : Prepare for bed
- 12:00am - 7:30am : Sleep

Thursday, July 13, 2023Why is sun protection so important?
What are UV rays?
- UVA rays penetrate deeply into the dermis layer of your skin, causing wrinkles and age spots, making your skin looks older than it is, causing long-term damage and premature aging.
- UVB rays primarily affect the surface of your skin and cause sunburn.
- Both types of UV rays contribute to the development of skin cancer.
