Few things in this world are more frustrating than sleep struggles. After all, isn't falling asleep supposed to be as natural as eating or drinking? Why, then, is it so challenging?
Healthy sleep should be natural, but your modern lifestyle is far from natural, and as a result, so are your sleep patterns.
If you want healthy sleep, you need to understand your body’s natural internal clock, known as your chronotype. Your chronotype reflects your natural sleep-wake cycle, influencing when you feel alert and sleepy throughout the day.
As a clinical sleep specialist, I've dedicated the last two decades to understanding sleep. Countless studies highlight what disturbs your rest and unhealthy habits that lead to nighttime wakefulness.
But my approach is different; I examine the aspects of healthy, natural sleep to reveal the underlying causes of your sleep challenges.
Understanding your chronotype is the first step toward achieving better sleep and overall well-being. Aligning your schedule with your chronotype allows you to work with your unique sleep-wake cycle rather than against it to start feeling better rested.
