You have to get up at 5.30am to pick up your parents from the airport. How do you feel?
You have an important presentation at work tomorrow. What’s happening at 3am?
You’re cooking dinner for 10 people. When are you at your parmesan-crisp-making peak?
It’s 10pm, the sofa’s comfy and your other half has insisted on listening to a radio documentary about canal engineering. How long before you nod off?
THE DOLPHIN
THE DOLPHIN
You’re a light sleeper and likely to be biphasic. You often wake unrefreshed and hit your stride late in the evening, with spurts of energy during the day.
THE LION
THE LION
You rise before the sun comes up and you’re ready to conquer the world from mid- morning to noon, but you slump in the early afternoon. You sleep deeply and are not prone to night-time waking.
THE BEAR
THE BEAR
You wake up bleary-eyed after several snoozes but are productive by mid-morning. You fall asleep easily, but often sleep for a shorter period than you’d like. You might benefit from a siesta.
THE WOLF
THE WOLF
You’re out of sync with the daytime world, finding early rising tough and rarely being with-it until the afternoon. You’re most alert at 7pm and seldom feel tired until beyond midnight.
