Dreamland Devotee
No counting sheep here, sleep is your thing! In fact, you love bedtime and can’t wait for it to begin. You pull on your matching pajama set, dab on your essential oil blend, and drift off with ease. Your bed is where you decompress and feel the most chill, so you often head there early — like super early.
Maybe you look forward to working out first thing. Or maybe you like writing in your dream journal over coffee at sunrise because, hey, you’re a morning lark, or maybe a lion. Yep, you likely fit the lion chronotype. The sooner you start your day, the sooner you can get back to your plush mattress, right?
There’s nothing wrong with being an early-to-bed, early-to-rise type, but it’s possible your 8 p.m. tuck-in might be cutting into time with friends or family. Sleep is crucial to your health and well-being, but so is connection to others. While going to bed at roughly the same time every night is a pillar of good sleep hygiene, plan one night a week where you stay up a little later, perhaps with a beloved night owl pal or partner.
But in general, you don’t have to give up quality time with your memory foam pillow.

Bedtime Battler
Some might describe you as a hoot because you’re the quintessential night owl who wants to keep the evening going. For you, sleep is something to procrastinate. Even when you’re in bed, you’re either watching Netflix or turning the pages of your latest read well into the wee hours. Just one more chapter… You likely fit the wolf chronotype because you’re practically nocturnal. The only time you really love to sleep is when it’s time to wake up.
Sleep might be difficult for you, either because of a mind that gets going at night or even an internal clock that just doesn’t jive with “traditional” bedtimes. That’s OK. But if your night owl proclivities are hindering your ability to get to work or school, or how well you function the next day, a few tweaks can help you adjust.
Melatonin, for example, can aid your internal clock to signal sleepiness a little earlier. Plus, practicing good sleep hygiene, like skipping out on electronic devices that emit blue light, can also help. No more doom scrolling. If you’re battling insomnia, such as the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep, talk with your doctor about treatment options.
But if you just like to stay up late, and it works with your schedule, that’s owl right.

Structured Snoozer
Hot bath? Check. Weighted blanket? Check. Sound machine? Check. Blackout curtains? Check. Silky sleep mask? Check. Contoured body pillow? Check. Meditative podcast? Check.
When it comes to bedtime, you have your quirks. You’re a bit like Goldilocks in that you need everything to be just right. You’re not trying to be finicky, but sleep doesn’t come with the flip of the nightlight switch for you. Why? Possibly because you fit the dolphin chronotype, half wired and half tired. (Real-life dolphins sleep with half their brains awake.) But you’ve cultivated a routine and a set of sleep accessories that work to calm that wired bit at bedtime.
That’s great. But if you can’t fall asleep without the full kit and caboodle, you might have trouble getting your Z’s while traveling for work, staying in someone else’s home, or going on vacation. Oof! Hauling a weighted blanket around isn’t easy. Can you whittle down your routine or try subtracting a must-have item on occasion? You’ll find the ones you truly need — and the ones you don’t.
If insomnia is plaguing you, talk with your doctor. You may find a solution that helps you pare down your nighttime MO. But if insomnia isn’t the culprit and you just like sleep accessories, you can always stick to the mantra: If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Sleep Slayer
You can fall asleep sitting up. And you have many times. A blaring TV, a bedmate who snores, city lights streaming in your window, a baby wailing on the airline seat in front of you — none of these are a problem, you say. You can nod off anywhere, anytime.
For you, sleep works like a switch, and you’re fond of the lunch nap, the disco nap, the coffee nap — you name it. You like sleep, and you’ll capitalize on any chance to get a few extra winks. In fact, you might catch a snooze right now. You’re possibly the bear chronotype, often carrying a sleep debt from day to day.
The ability to fall asleep easily is certainly enviable. But if daytime drowsiness is the reason you’re able to quickly conk out on your coffee break, it’s possible you’re not getting enough sleep hours at night. Try hitting the hay earlier and see if doing so changes your craving for catnaps. If not, talk with your doctor. The quality of your sleep could also be the issue. Sleep apnea, for example, is a condition that can leave you extra tired during the day.
Or it may be that you just really like naps, and in that case, dream on.
