Sleep and gut health
Chronotype
Also called Morning person, Night owl
Chronotype is your natural preference for earlier or later sleep and wake times, from strong morning types to strong night owls.
It is partly genetic and shifts with age: teenagers and young adults tend to run late, and most people drift earlier after about 50. Morning light can move it a little earlier; a steady wake time matters more than fighting it.
