The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast
143: Sleep Smarter: The Science of When with Dr. Michael Breus

So let me explain to your audience really quickly.

The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast
143: Sleep Smarter: The Science of When with Dr. Michael Breus

You might not have heard of the term, but you've definitely heard of the concept of a chronotype.

The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast
143: Sleep Smarter: The Science of When with Dr. Michael Breus

As an example, Dwayne, has anybody ever called you an early bird or a night owl?

The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast
143: Sleep Smarter: The Science of When with Dr. Michael Breus

Okay, so we'll talk about how that actually happens in a minute.

The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast
143: Sleep Smarter: The Science of When with Dr. Michael Breus

Early bird is one chronotype.

The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast
143: Sleep Smarter: The Science of When with Dr. Michael Breus

Night owl is a different chronotype, right?

The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast
143: Sleep Smarter: The Science of When with Dr. Michael Breus

Now, I am most famous for I discovered a fourth chronotype.

The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast
143: Sleep Smarter: The Science of When with Dr. Michael Breus

So there's early birds, there's night owls, there's people in the middle, right?

The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast
143: Sleep Smarter: The Science of When with Dr. Michael Breus

You have to figure there's got to be people in the middle, right?

143: Sleep Smarter: The Science of When with Dr. Michael Breus

And then there's people who have an irregular sleep schedule.

143: Sleep Smarter: The Science of When with Dr. Michael Breus

And so that's what I'm probably the most famous for is I developed the assessment tool to figure out, okay, if I take this questionnaire, which one of these four categories do I end up in?

The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast
143: Sleep Smarter: The Science of When with Dr. Michael Breus

So that's kind of the big thing that I'm most famous for.

The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast
143: Sleep Smarter: The Science of When with Dr. Michael Breus

Now you're saying, well, what does that have to do with entrepreneurs and when to sleep and how to sleep and things like that?

The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast
143: Sleep Smarter: The Science of When with Dr. Michael Breus

So this is where it gets really interesting.

The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast
143: Sleep Smarter: The Science of When with Dr. Michael Breus

So as an example, let's say you're an early bird.

The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast
143: Sleep Smarter: The Science of When with Dr. Michael Breus

I can actually tell you, based on a lot of research, what time you should go to bed and what time you should wake up.

The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast
143: Sleep Smarter: The Science of When with Dr. Michael Breus

Most people are not waking up within what I call their chronotypical swim lane.

The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast
143: Sleep Smarter: The Science of When with Dr. Michael Breus

By the way, early birds now are called lions in my vernacular, right?

The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast
143: Sleep Smarter: The Science of When with Dr. Michael Breus

Because, by the way, who wouldn't want to be the king or queen of the jungle, right?

The Dwayne Kerrigan Podcast
143: Sleep Smarter: The Science of When with Dr. Michael Breus

I mean, I think that'd be great.
