The time we naturally want to go to bed and get up is largely down to our โ€˜chronotypeโ€™, the scientific categorisation for whether youโ€™re an owl or a lark โ€“ and itโ€™s largely down to genetics.

Knowing your chronotype, and the type of people that you live with, is a useful scheduling tool.

Find out more in our current issue’s sleep dossier and take the University of Munich’s chronotypes test here.
