I actually do sleep the best from 2am-9am no lie. I feel the most refreshed sleeping those hours. Unfortuntely my job starts at 8am and if you cant make it, you are replacable. Ive had trouble with sleep since about age 6, 30yrs now. And i had a set bed time and waking time. School always started at 8am and my jobs have always started at 8am. The 3yrs i was on unemployment, my job shut down and its not easy finding a job here. I found i slept the best from 2am-9am and felt great. i finally got a RARE job with benifits and all the works, so unfortunately i cant sleep those hours 🤷🏼♀️ And no i didnt have a lot of caffine as a kid. My mom made sure i ate healthy and i was very active. And throughout my school years, i ran, lifted weights, climb, martial arts and horse backriding, and had a set bed time and waking time and i still wouldnt sleep for days at a time.
Unfortunately many people doesn't even believe this or ready to believe. Personally even I was depressed to not able to sleep and get up early and there was even myths regarding that successful people always get up before 5 am and bla bla. But now I have got evidence to support myself and sticking to my chronotype has yielded me good results
Personally for me, it makes a lot of sense. I'm a classic wolf. I'm all energetic when I wake up at 9am or later. While my body couldn't adjust to waking up early in morning despite doing that for years. I would literally drag till 10-11am. My energy is also at its highest post 7pm, can literally feel it.

I find his points of view along with his research to be refreshing. It's out of the box thinking this is this that has assisted in defining us as species in the 22nd century
The only sensible thing about this talk is that different chronotypes exist, and the world and workplace should accommodate to them. Our wellbeing would greatly benefit from that and I really believe the story about the woman. There's good and solid evidence for different chronotypes and regenerative sleep is incredibly important for every physiological function, as well as mental health. Sleeping even one hour less can significantly reduce performance (Mathew Walker, sleep scientist and author of Why We Sleep). Now, with these "animals", there's a classic barnum effect: statements that are vague and general enough that most people will find some truth to them and pick out the parts they identify with the most. I highly doubt their scientific validity.
Thank you Dr. Michael Brews for the Information. I came to know that I am a night owl. But my boss wants to see me early morning. Doing side hustle to get rid of the boss.
Having dealt with so much sleep related health stuff and having done so much research... this makes a lot of sense and fits with other studies really well.🐬
Growing up I was 100% a night owl - I'd always be going to bed late, like between 11 and 1 am, and struggling to get up for school. When I went to uni I got really bad anxiety/was depressed and I wouldn't go to bed till 5am and then wake up at 12pm. Now that I've left uni and received therapy I'm doing so much better. I have a job now too which meant I had to reset my body clock to that of a bear. Tbh a bear schedule feels really good for me. I still tend to sleep late, like around 12, but I'm doing so much better mentally and I don't struggle as much getting up in the morning as I used to. I think the most important thing with sleep is maintaining consistency with whatever schedule you decide. Good luck to everyone out there who may be struggling with sleeping! This is only temporary. You can get better :)
Only someone who has switched between all the different types of prototypes during phases of college, work, new parenting etc. knows that the doctor makes sense. You need to discover the right type for you.
Amazing how I can look at these times for my type and my boyfriends and they are spot on I'm a lion and he's a dolphin. He never gets enough sleep but barely sleeps. We both get up at 3-4am to hang out before I do my day and go to work. I love that we can have a real good quiet moment to ourselves. I might change up my workout schedule but preferably like the mornings at 3-4 am.
David Chung, the chronotypes can be adjusted to some extent. Generally we will use a combination of melatonin and light therapy to adjust your sleep cycle.
I think the same. With discipline I can get up refreshed realy early in the morning without an alarm clock. I also can change my 'chronotype' to a night owl
if yall finished the video, he did say we have all chronotypes. yes, we can change, but i don feel comfortable. im a night owl, i don put down early birds so they shdnt put down us. i can force myself to be an early bird, but whether is it good for my health, tts another story.
I'm a wolf type ... Hear me out... This guy nailed it. Whatever I do at whatever time... He nailed it in his ideal time charts. I do muay thai at 6:00! I sleep at 2:00 ( I couldn't stay awake till 5:00 am) I hate breakfasts ( so I have a little cereal). I'm super active in the night.
Gracias, Michael 👏 Este conocimiento es revolucionario... Necesitamos validar el sueño en nuestra sociedad para tener un vida en todo nuestro potencial (así como más segura).
Oh, gosh! I am a Lion and I always wanted to work early in morning but, my remote design job starts at 11AM. Working on my own business to get rid of job.
I believe there is much truth to much of this information, but it gets lost when giving personality descriptions that are overall less generalizable (or are too vague that they aren’t remarkable & not worth including). Too much of this is appealing only to those parts of us who enjoy learning about ourselves & do so through confirmation bias. I would’ve loved to have had quantitative data like Likert scales of reported happiness, energy, fulfillment, moods, etc. It goes without saying that people are complex & everyone will be different, but I feel with these narrow descriptions and “explanations” of types of people, very few people will perfectly fit in the box.
I did the quiz and found that my chronotype is a bear. I think this is kinda correct back when I was studying in university but after graduated and been unemployed for almost a year, I think I'm actually more to wolf nowadays. I sleep late and wake up late. I really tried to change my routine because I'm afraid if I ever get a job it will be difficult for me to adapt but yeah it's really hard.
Maybe it could be that every theory is conjured up in parts, combining imagination, experience then evidence? I'm no expert, but I am 40! Also I do wonder, how many of the folks here have missed his point, they may instead start to choose their preferred animal!!!!? For example, why associate with being a bear when you can be a Dolphin (type thing..)! Possibly too much emphasis on the animals! Although it did work well in grabbing my attention. But if I were not able to realise this point, I may be left completely confused some weeks & some strange behaviour later!! Scientists, tech-heads & teachers pay attention: please don't forget your audience, start simple, stay clear & finish simple! Intellectuals types are more than capable of researching more later on, within the confines of their own brains! But I enjoyed the video and don't wish to complain or criticise.
Soooo, I'm a teenagers I want to wake to wake up early, soo If change the time in which I eat, do exercises, drink coffe and others strategyes that I've learned, Will I Sleep Better and early? Will I change My chronotype?
I started reading his book. The fact he does not mention at all solar midnight time, seasonal changes and daylight saving, and just sticks to "do this and that at this am/pm time" is a real turn-off.
okay so... if wolves are 'night owls' and like to get up later, why would you suggest they have breakfast at 8AM ??? wolves would so not be up by then.
Yeah it seems to me that it's a marketing strategy to get more clients, who would do anything to find an easy answer for their problems. It doesnt make sense from an evolutionary perspective for people to have different chrono types, because these unhealthy sleeping patterns are a thing of the last century, no time for chrono types to evolve.
@Shahzad Ali that melatonin is secreted differently between different people, i guess, i mean what you base your statement that there are different chrono types, you have to have a solid data that shows you that.
@@mateisan It actually does make sense to have people waking up at different times. This meant that there was always someone awake to watch over the rest of the sleeping tribe and wake anyone in the case of predators. As for the weird animal names and personality traits, seems like marketing
Sounds a lot like the somatotype stuff all over the fitness industry. Needless labels. Just figuring out what works best for you should prove to be the most effective... rather than relying on some group you put yourself in.
There is actually robust medical literature supporting different chronotypes and the medical physiology of sleep is relatively well understood. Medically, what he is describing is formally known delayed and advanced sleep phase. You can read about them and easily search up the robust level 1 evidence behind this. I think his talk is geared towards the general public rather than an advanced medical crowd. So, he is making things easy to understand. The purpose of the talk is not to critically appraise the vast amount of medical literature. That would make for a very boring talk unless presenting at a research conference.
It all sounds very interesting but can u imangine going into work late and saying to your boss I'm sorry I can't adhere to the working hours because my chronotype doesn't allow it
I don’t think many people can perfectly fit into a man- made typing system, nor were we meant to- our personalities and individual make up is unique to us. I definitely don’t fit perfectly into these either, BUT I can definitely see one, maybe two, where I’m dominant. That and plain old listening to my own body is good enough for me!
Some of this contradicted some of his later recommendations... at some point he mentioned lions being morning people means they should reserve exercise for the latter part of their day since it requires less mental energy
It's mainly to do with priority. eg: if you want to get the best results from your exercise do it first thing in the morning. But if something else is your priority do that first thing in the morning as your brain is at its peak for lions.
I’m a dolphin, but I don’t want to move until about 1:30 PM and I rarely eat breakfast. I’m too tired to get up and work out at 7:30 AM because I haven’t had enough sleep by then and I’m still trying to go back to sleep and get more. I’m really messed up.
The answer to your prayers is Dr. Eric Berg TH-cam him, and watch his videos. (*Go to the Playlists tab, not to the Videos tab - it is all organized in order in there.)
This sounds like BS. With discipline I can get up refreshed realy early in the morning without an alarm clock. I also can change my 'chronotype' to a night owl.
Can totally relate man. I always heard/felt the same way, you can get your circadian rhythm to what ever routine you want it just takes time and discipline. The part about 12 hour and 8 hour eating cycles (intermittent fasting) seems factual, pretty sure there are many studies available on that. Most people straight up overload their stomach all day and night and it's being overworked non stop making it extremely inefficient. People starting to eat at like 7 am and then still eating by the time 11 pm rolls around wondering why they gaining weight or can't fall asleep.
11:00 Empty stomach! No wonder 7:30am for a "bear" like me is the same time as having breakfast. No sidewalks where I live, and not a good idea to drive to the nearest park on an empty stomach; there is already traffic here at that time, but maybe not as bad. I will try *only 1 time* and see.
Very interesting. I sure can relate to changing over the years. I once was a bear, but now, at 63, I think I'm a dolphin. Can't sleep well without CBD.
I really love Michael's work, I always knew I'm a wolf since childhood. It's the first time I see this video and I didn't know that he also says extra personality stuff about each chronotype, I think this part is absolutely nonsense sorry Michael, but that's just not true at all. For example, I'm a wolf but not an introvert.
So the latest chronotype breakfast (Minute 8:05) is 8AM... ...but the woman in the story had to wake up 9AM to function Does she have her own chronotype or is there a way to have breakfast before waking up?
can someone suggest what scedule to follow as a dolphin working on night shifts that is 7pm-3am office hours instead of the regular morning office timing?
That's what I was wondering. Luckily for me I get to work on my own schedule, sometimes you find me working from 2am to 6am, others from 6pm to 9pm. Somehow I never get anything done before 3pm...
@@lisag3359 yes! That's what I used to do, just get so frustrated staring into the dark but then I was like, f it, I'm awake, I'm going to work! So now I get more work done and don't have to feel guilty about sleeping in (sometimes my best sleep is from 7am to 10am) with the added benefit that sometimes work puts me to sleep.
I can wake up at 11 in the morning and not do anything, but still be tired around 10:30/11, problem is i never sleep at that time i stay up later, so after around 11 im fully awake and dont sleep untill around 1, defo need to try and sleep around 10:30 and see how i feel
A jet lag can be fixed in a few days, because we are highly adaptable species. In the same way you can change your daily routine in a few days or weeks and you are going to perform in any activities in their new "usual time frames". You have to do these changes wisely, or you can find these kind of excuses, that I'm not a morning person. It's a nonsense. Probably your lifestyle is not the one which makes it easy to be a morning person. You don't have to, but it is important that you can be if you want. We are highly adaptable species, if you change your environment, you can change your behavior, this talk is a non-sense.
'No' to the easily changing lifestyle... I have been trying to wake at 4:30am / 5:00am for 8 years now. Still struggle. That one year that I was privileged to wake at 730am I was a completely different and better person...
All of these timings are still assuming the person lives by a normal 9-5 schedule. So for people who don't have external pressures distorting our natural rhythms, all of this is useless. I can't run at 7 am if I don't actually wake up until after 10, not just wish that I could.
I become active and fresh as a daisy after 5 or 6 in the evng...I have alwys felt day doesnt suit me. Something about the evng air, the coolness in the air, no sun puts me in a good mood. I have alsys wished if the world slept throughout the day and became active during the eveng!!
4:03 That is one of the totally unfair, deceptive things in life: what is it worth to be a CEO and make a lot of money if you will not even be able to watch a movie. Watch it during the day? You're still too busy for that. That's why life is not "that good" and I keep a low profile on everything. Life is okay.
This doctor has the "answer" to make routine looks more funny with animal terms. Lions, Bears, Wolves, Dolphins? All this is based in habits and if you connect your habits to certain neuronal paths you can achieve anything. The sleep problem is something else. He probably has a more scientific answer or explanation and this is just a scientific disclosure, but if he doesn't show it here is because it would expose his whole formula to make money.
Hala Abdulqader these are not science based or accurate in the manner he seems to say they are and isn’t how the body works. The central nervous system doesn’t work as simply as he says
Payam Mehraban, of course not. But he is speaking to a non-medical audience. He has to make things simpler for people to understand. It takes a doctor more than 15 years to acquire knowledge to start practicing. They have to make things simpler for patients to understand. For example, when doctors talk about cancer they rarely will discuss chemical composition of each cancer and the physics behind radiation therapy.
@@markk9586 no this is not correct, although it takes medical doctors many years to understand this type of information,the things this man is saying is not based on evidence, the issue is not that he is simplifying it, the information he is providing isnt correct neurolgocially and isnt how hormone and endocrine systems work, this is an over simplification with story like undertones he's made so that his speech will be more appealing to people viewing it but its not biologically correct, this is misleading information that is only trying to promote his perspectives, he is clearly not a researcher and his methods seem highly flawed in their conclusions, mainly that he has created categories that have little to do with how modern psychological and neuroscience works, the physiology of what he is saying is also not based on evidence, any person whos taken a basic biology course can recognize that this type of information is not how sleep physiology works
Payam Mehraban , I’m still waiting for your resources that support your claims that the physiology or research he is referring to is not correct. At the minimum, point to the “basic biology course” textbook that shows what he is saying is false. If you can’t produce a single shred of evidence to substantiate your claims, then you are doing EXACTLY what you are purporting him to be doing.
Anyone who is trying to give a serious talk about real sleep subtypes and is talking about humans having 'just enough obsessive compulsive disorder' has just lost me completely. Disorders are measured according to their divergence from the healthy norm and the level of IMPAIRMENT they visit upon the sufferer. Not gonna bother finishing this.

Some of this contradicted some of his later recommendations... at some point he mentioned lions being morning people means they should reserve exercise for the latter part of their day since it requires less mental energy
It's mainly to do with priority. eg: if you want to get the best results from your exercise do it first thing in the morning. But if something else is your priority do that first thing in the morning as your brain is at its peak for lions.
Hearing that I should drink less then 17 cups of coffee before bed makes me real angry 😡
A lot of this information just doesn't line up when I compare it to peoples behaviors in the real world.
I’m a dolphin, but I don’t want to move until about 1:30 PM and I rarely eat breakfast. I’m too tired to get up and work out at 7:30 AM because I haven’t had enough sleep by then and I’m still trying to go back to sleep and get more. I’m really messed up.
The answer to your prayers is
Dr. Eric Berg
TH-cam him, and watch his videos. (*Go to the Playlists tab, not to the Videos tab - it is all organized in order in there.)
Same here. I try to work out four hours after waking up at 9:30 and am pretty much chi Alf asleep before that
All wolfs in the house say ,voooo😂😂
I like two sleep at 3:00am wake up at 7:00am and also sleep at 6:00pm and wake up at 9:00pm
I'm kind of like this but my day sleep is at 5 p.m. maybe to 7 p.m.
I was a night owl... but due to my schedule, I shifted over to lion over time and succeeding.
This sounds like BS.
With discipline I can get up refreshed realy early in the morning without an alarm clock.
I also can change my 'chronotype' to a night owl.
You are a Dolphin on high white dopamine dose!
Can totally relate man. I always heard/felt the same way, you can get your circadian rhythm to what ever routine you want it just takes time and discipline. The part about 12 hour and 8 hour eating cycles (intermittent fasting) seems factual, pretty sure there are many studies available on that. Most people straight up overload their stomach all day and night and it's being overworked non stop making it extremely inefficient. People starting to eat at like 7 am and then still eating by the time 11 pm rolls around wondering why they gaining weight or can't fall asleep.
Jakub Michałowski thats true. I can easily change my bed/get up time easily in a 4 days and performing same things.
I've always got tired around 10:30, no matter how I've changed my sleeping routine, and always woke up round 7:15
Then you guys are gifted. I took me almost a year to get used to an earlier patern and that was still cumbersome for me
Amazing. A very useful video
I transmutated all the animal into a beast with eletrolytes. Corn flakes works too. This way you can put the animal to sleep at the time you want
Checked
The problem with running at night is getting light exposure so late messes with your sleep, which isn't helpful when you are already a night person
11:00 Empty stomach! No wonder 7:30am for a "bear" like me is the same time as having breakfast.
No sidewalks where I live, and not a good idea to drive to the nearest park on an empty stomach; there is already traffic here at that time, but maybe not as bad. I will try *only 1 time* and see.
Who are the couple you keep putting the camera on?
@@rnapol3266 haha
RNApol 😂
I’m a dolphin and honestly I feel best when exercising from 7 to 8 after or before that I finding it hard to do
in the evening or morning?
I'm your 🐺 wolf baby😉
I wish he had told us how to identify what our chronotype is
Very interesting. I sure can relate to changing over the years. I once was a bear, but now, at 63, I think I'm a dolphin. Can't sleep well without CBD.
How much CBD...I'm trying to get the right amount to help me sleep
I hate my 9-5 life. 20 + years of school and then job, not a single day in my life have I woken up 7-8 am in the morning and be fresh.
excuse me, night owls wakes up at 8am for breakfast? i wake up at 12 or 1pm on the wkends!
How about us students, we can't talk to our teachers to move our schedule because it's fixed?
I really love Michael's work, I always knew I'm a wolf since childhood.
It's the first time I see this video and I didn't know that he also says extra personality stuff about each chronotype, I think this part is absolutely nonsense sorry Michael, but that's just not true at all.
For example, I'm a wolf but not an introvert.
So the latest chronotype breakfast (Minute 8:05) is 8AM...
...but the woman in the story had to wake up 9AM to function
Does she have her own chronotype or is there a way to have breakfast before waking up?
You should go to Las Vegas and study shift workers like graveyard bartenders or swing cocktail waitresses.
can someone suggest what scedule to follow as a dolphin working on night shifts that is 7pm-3am office hours instead of the regular morning office timing?
So what’s the best sleep and work schedule for a dolphin?
That's what I was wondering. Luckily for me I get to work on my own schedule, sometimes you find me working from 2am to 6am, others from 6pm to 9pm. Somehow I never get anything done before 3pm...
Oh, that’s not me at all. Middle of the night, I’m either sleeping or frustrated that I’m not sleeping.
@@lisag3359 yes! That's what I used to do, just get so frustrated staring into the dark but then I was like, f it, I'm awake, I'm going to work! So now I get more work done and don't have to feel guilty about sleeping in (sometimes my best sleep is from 7am to 10am) with the added benefit that sometimes work puts me to sleep.
Yes
I can wake up at 11 in the morning and not do anything, but still be tired around 10:30/11, problem is i never sleep at that time i stay up later, so after around 11 im fully awake and dont sleep untill around 1, defo need to try and sleep around 10:30 and see how i feel
This is just a Buzzfeed article in the shape of a Ted talk -.-
I took the quiz and it told me I was a Bear which is completely untrue. I'm a Wolf with some mild Dolphin characteristics lol.
1 pm
A jet lag can be fixed in a few days, because we are highly adaptable species. In the same way you can change your daily routine in a few days or weeks and you are going to perform in any activities in their new "usual time frames". You have to do these changes wisely, or you can find these kind of excuses, that I'm not a morning person. It's a nonsense. Probably your lifestyle is not the one which makes it easy to be a morning person. You don't have to, but it is important that you can be if you want. We are highly adaptable species, if you change your environment, you can change your behavior, this talk is a non-sense.
'No' to the easily changing lifestyle... I have been trying to wake at 4:30am / 5:00am for 8 years now. Still struggle. That one year that I was privileged to wake at 730am I was a completely different and better person...
I'm a sloth
Me: questions whether to watch the video
**Reads the top comment "I'm a sloth"** Me: that's my video ❤️
Caffeine helps calm me. So I don’t use it to be alert but to calm me
All of these timings are still assuming the person lives by a normal 9-5 schedule. So for people who don't have external pressures distorting our natural rhythms, all of this is useless. I can't run at 7 am if I don't actually wake up until after 10, not just wish that I could.
Wolf gang! Where y’all at?
I couldn't really take as much as I would have liked from this talk due to his content swallowing. Sorry. What chronotype does that make me?
14:40 buzzcut zappa
I become active and fresh as a daisy after 5 or 6 in the evng...I have alwys felt day doesnt suit me. Something about the evng air, the coolness in the air, no sun puts me in a good mood. I have alsys wished if the world slept throughout the day and became active during the eveng!!
I'm a wolf but I don't get time to exercise at 6pm but I can at 6am so what should I do? Do it anyway or do it as close to 6 pm as possible?
Kate improved her performance because she was on the brink of getting fired. Period.
Jaindar Singh lol you killed me
It doesn't always work that way. Also, some people really do function that way.
Amazing I need a copy of this book
4:03 That is one of the totally unfair, deceptive things in life: what is it worth to be a CEO and make a lot of money if you will not even be able to watch a movie.
Watch it during the day? You're still too busy for that.
That's why life is not "that good" and I keep a low profile on everything.
Life is okay.
I like to exercise in the evening. I'm a wolve.
How about time for dolphin type sleep ?
I am a dolphin, describes my high functioning autism too I am also INTP-A personality type
This doctor has the "answer" to make routine looks more funny with animal terms. Lions, Bears, Wolves, Dolphins? All this is based in habits and if you connect your habits to certain neuronal paths you can achieve anything. The sleep problem is something else. He probably has a more scientific answer or explanation and this is just a scientific disclosure, but if he doesn't show it here is because it would expose his whole formula to make money.
stop fighting and i don't need cardio. stop fighting and I sleep deep
I am hacking my type this week
There a picture of this guy next to the definition of gobbledygook in the dictionary
What means?
3:59 Robin Sharma is a Lion.
If I didn't have any cellphone, TV, computer or electronic thing I can be in the bed at 9 pm and wake up 7 am.
not sure why but i don't buy these things.
Hala Abdulqader, I’m sure you will when you have a job or have to work at times that are not suited to your chronotype.
Hala Abdulqader these are not science based or accurate in the manner he seems to say they are and isn’t how the body works. The central nervous system doesn’t work as simply as he says
Payam Mehraban, of course not. But he is speaking to a non-medical audience. He has to make things simpler for people to understand. It takes a doctor more than 15 years to acquire knowledge to start practicing. They have to make things simpler for patients to understand. For example, when doctors talk about cancer they rarely will discuss chemical composition of each cancer and the physics behind radiation therapy.
@@markk9586 no this is not correct, although it takes medical doctors many years to understand this type of information,the things this man is saying is not based on evidence, the issue is not that he is simplifying it, the information he is providing isnt correct neurolgocially and isnt how hormone and endocrine systems work, this is an over simplification with story like undertones he's made so that his speech will be more appealing to people viewing it but its not biologically correct, this is misleading information that is only trying to promote his perspectives, he is clearly not a researcher and his methods seem highly flawed in their conclusions, mainly that he has created categories that have little to do with how modern psychological and neuroscience works, the physiology of what he is saying is also not based on evidence, any person whos taken a basic biology course can recognize that this type of information is not how sleep physiology works
Payam Mehraban , I’m still waiting for your resources that support your claims that the physiology or research he is referring to is not correct. At the minimum, point to the “basic biology course” textbook that shows what he is saying is false. If you can’t produce a single shred of evidence to substantiate your claims, then you are doing EXACTLY what you are purporting him to be doing.
Anyone who is trying to give a serious talk about real sleep subtypes and is talking about humans having 'just enough obsessive compulsive disorder' has just lost me completely. Disorders are measured according to their divergence from the healthy norm and the level of IMPAIRMENT they visit upon the sufferer. Not gonna bother finishing this.
Who got his masterclass ad before his talk
This might be false positive but I was always sleepy when i was in school or job.
