Understanding Chronotype
Chronotype is largely determined by genetics, with at least 22 genes influencing it. This innate trait shapes our circadian rhythms, leading to different sleep patterns among individuals. Forcing a morning type to stay awake late disrupts their natural rhythm, resulting in sleep deprivation and early waking, highlighting the importance of aligning sleep schedules with one's chronotype for optimal rest.In this clip

I have a question about this episode Dr. Matthew Walker: The Biology of Sleep & Your Unique Sleep Needs | Huberman Lab Guest Series and this Understanding Chronotypes. I did the MEQ test and got a score of 40, which means I am a moderate evening type. My ideal wake-up time is therefore between 8:30 and 10:00. Since I have to wake up at 7:10 twice a week, will this significantly affect my sleep quality?
My results from the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) by QxMD indicate that I have a moderate evening chronotype. What does this mean for my sleep patterns and daily schedule?
