Chronotypes and Sleep Psychology with Dr...

MISSION
About this episode

What kind of sleeper are you? According to Dr. Michael Breus, you could be a bear, dolphin, or even a wolf!

In today’s episode, Dr. Breus joins us to discuss all things sleep chronotypes. Dr. Breus is a doctor, author, and frequent contributor to Dr. Oz and the Today show. He’s found that your circadian rhythms (yes, plural!) and sleep chronotype can tell you when you should do everything - from sleeping and eating, to writing or even asking for a raise.

Learn the ins and outs of the latest sleep research and how you can identify your sleep chronotype.
