    I'm a dolphin. I do better if I go to the gym before work and listen to white noise when I get home. I live with noisy people who stay up late and go to bed early, but if I get up before them and work out, I'm okay. The white noise can cover up some of the noise when I'm trying to sleep. The trick is to wear yourself out and not miss the window when you start feeling sleepy.

    Living that Dolphin life in High School really fucked me up! That's how I was until I was about 25. Now I'm more of a lion, but I think that is because of my job. I'm responsible and show up to work on time, and early lol. My body was forced to adapt to that lifestyle. Sometimes on a long vacation I'llI go back to acting like a Dolphin. I'm pretty sure we can train ourselves to be any one of the 4 chronotypes depending on what would be optimal for our lifestyle.

    Keep in mind the “quarter life” of caffeine is 12 hours for most people, meaning 25% of the caffeine in a cup of coffee consumed at noon is still circulating in your brain when you go to bed at midnight. That could well be enough to completely wreck your deep sleep. Sleep expert Matthew Walker recommends having your last cup no later than 11AM.

      "Science"... The more capitalized it appears, the more it appears as "the voice of authority", the more it effectively sounds like horoscope. The only thing that should matter is the contributions of papers as attempts to explain something. But not the circus and fireworks of the superposed conclusions and projections and marketed bullshit that comes later.

      My sleep pattern fits the wold 100% but i don't match with the characteristics 100% i'm introverted, optimistic and i don't have an additive personality. The characteristics are definitely generalizations everyone lives under different circumstances, and we also have different behavioral influences that affect our personality's. The chronotypes are more about the sleep pattern, rather than the personality/actions of a person. I'm sure in Dr. Bruce's study there were definitely people like us. but on average the the traits associated with each chronotype were the most common for each group.

    Before I was a lion. But now im a dolphin, this started after I moved to a basement 4 years ago which had no windows or any way to look outside. Since 4 years ago I have been having problems sleeping, my mind is not as active as before, get irritated easily, and I don’t feel the same joy doing the things that I liked to do, I just get a little more energy in night like after 12 Am. If it was possible I would stay in bed all time even If I can’t sleep. But it’s hard for me to do things, I don’t socialize as before, don’t feel motivated and feel that the lack of sleep don’t let me be who I am or was. This is very interesting all this is a change that occurred after I moved here to this basement. Underground no windows, the room is dark gray. Interesting, im a dolphin.

    This was interesting, but it seems very speculative in your delivery

      Sorry to hear that. Are you male? You might be dealing with an enlarged prostate (since you say you have frequent nighttime urinations). I recommend blacking out your room as much as possible, and putting your bed on an incline. You should also investigate if you may have sleep apnea or whether you sleep with your mouth open (try mouth taping). Best of luck
