Night Owl or Morning Lark: Are You Living With—or Against—Your Body Clock?

Sign up for Dr. Bobby's 1-page action "Prescriptions" (https://drbobbylivelongandwell.com/pr...) We follow the daylight saving time debate into a deeper question: whether your chronotype makes you a night owl or a morning lark, and how that fit with real life changes your sleep, performance, and health. I share what the evidence says about social jet lag, why synchrony matters more than labels, and how to decide whether to change your schedule or try to shift your body clock.  • what chronotype means and how it shows up in daily energy, appetite, and sleep  • why social jet lag happens and how to measure it with weekend vs weekday timing  • what studies suggest about cognitive performance when timing matches your chronotype  • how exercise performance can depend on morningness or eveningness  • observational links between evening types, cardiometabolic risk, metabolic syndrome, and mental health  • how light therapy, meal timing, exercise timing, and caffeine timing can shift the clock  • practical steps to reduce a mismatch, including consistent wake times and gradual changes  If you like this episode, please provide a review on Apple or Spotify or wherever you listen.  If you want to continue this journey or want to receive my newsletter on practical and scientific ways to improve your health and longevity, please visit me at Dr. Bobby Livelongandwell.com.  Send us Fan Mail (https://www.buzzsprout.com/2297572/fa...)
