What are sleep chronotypes and which is yours?

Want better sleep? Then it helps to know your sleep chronotype. These are broad categories that describe people's natural inclination to sleep and wake at certain times, and how alert they are at different times of the day. 

There are four sleep chronotypes: the Bear sleep chronotype, the Wolf sleep chronotype, the Lion sleep chronotype, and the Dolphin sleep chronotype. Understanding which one you fit into can help you structure your day, and maximize your chances of better sleep at the end of it. Because even if you've got the best mattress and best pillow, you need to create a proper sleep routine or you'll never feel properly rested.
