Understanding the Four Chronotypes
Based on the research by Dr. Michael Breus, the Sleep Doctor, there are four main chronotypes that describe your body's natural sleep-wake preferences.
The Lion
15% of population
Early risers who wake naturally around 5–6 AM and feel most productive before noon. Optimistic, disciplined, and goal-oriented, but tend to crash by early evening.
The Bear
55% of population
The most common type. Bears follow the sun, waking around 7 AM and fitting naturally into a 9-to-5 schedule. Personable and collaborative, with peak focus from 10 AM to 2 PM.
The Wolf
15% of population
Classic night owls who struggle before 9 AM and don't feel tired until midnight. Creative and emotionally intense, with peak productivity in late morning and again in the evening.
The Dolphin
10% of population
Light, restless sleepers who are often wired and tired, fatigued during the day but restless at night. They benefit most from strong bedtime rituals and stress reduction.
Let's Go Through a Demo
Michael is a 32-year-old marketing professional who has always struggled with morning meetings. He drags himself out of bed at 7 AM but doesn't feel truly awake until almost noon. He's curious to know his chronotype and whether his sleep patterns are normal.

Michael opens August and types “I want to take the chronotype quiz”. August begins asking him about his daily energy patterns and sleep preferences.
Chronotype Analysis
August's AI analyzes Michael's responses: peak alertness in late morning and around 6–9 PM, natural wake time around 9 AM, doesn't feel tired until midnight or later, and creative personality traits.
Receive Clear Results
August reveals Michael is a Wolf chronotype - a natural night owl (about 15% of the population). Ideal sleep schedule: midnight to 7:30–8 AM. Schedule creative work for late morning (10 AM–12 PM) and evening (6–9 PM).
Ask Questions
Michael asks: “My job requires 8 AM meetings. How can I cope as a Wolf?” August recommends bright light therapy in the morning, avoiding important decisions during early meetings, and saving creative tasks for natural productivity windows later in the day.
