If youβve ever felt guilty for not being a βmorning person,β youβre not alone. For years, I tried to force myself into a sunrise routine because thatβs what βproductive peopleβ did. I was miserable. Then I learned about chronotypes β the biological rhythms that determine when our energy peaks. Once I started working with my natural rhythm instead of fighting it, everything changed.
βοΈ Tune In to Your Type
Larks: Early risers who shine before lunch.
Owls: Night thinkers with creative energy after dark.
Hummingbirds: Somewhere in the middle (hi, most of us).
The trick isnβt changing who you are β itβs building structure around it. Keep consistent sleep and wake times, even on weekends, and your body will reward you with steadier energy and deeper rest.
πΏ Quick Reset Hack
If youβre trying to shift your rhythm earlier, get 10 minutes of sunlight within an hour of waking. Itβs one of the simplest ways to help your body clock reset naturally.
π€ Small Upgrade
Kitsch Satin Pillowcase β breathable, gentle on skin, and keeps you cooler through the night. A small luxury that makes a noticeable difference.
π Try it here
Try this tonight: Instead of setting a brutal early alarm, move bedtime 15 minutes earlier for the next three nights. Let your rhythm adjust kindly.
Rest easy,
