Night Owls, Morning Larks, and How to Harness Your Chronotype
from Less Busy Lab
We all know someone who rises with the sun every morning (or before it)… and we all know someone else who needs five alarms and a minor miracle to get out of bed on time for school or work. In this episode, Moah and Alex introduce chronotypes—your body’s natural rhythm for sleeping, waking, and working—and how they can make or break your productivity.Why do some people get up and at 'em, hitting peak focus in the morning, while others don’t hit their stride until after dinner? How can you structure your work (and your team’s schedule) to match everyone’s natural energy levels? And what, if anything, can you do to change your daily productivity peaks? Listen to this episode to learn all that and more, like when different chronotypes perform best at tasks that require analysis vs. creativity.Through scientific research, personal stories, and tips from their experience running a multimillion dollar company, Moah and Alex will help you rethink the way you manage your day so you can get more done without feeling exhausted.Links from the show!Study linking genes and chronotypes https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-018-08259-7Munich ChronoType Questionaire https://www.thewep.org/documentations/mctqResearch paper: Time of day and chronotype in the assessment of cognitive functions https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10683050/Research paper: The alignment between chronotype and time of day https://ink.library.smu.edu.sg/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=7688&context=lkcsb_researchStudy on afternoon naps https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10091091/Boomerang for Gmail boomeranggmail.comBoomerang for Outlook boomerangoutlook.comGot todos?
