Chronotype
Version 1.0.0 · Updated 2026-07-30
CORE DEFINITION
A genetically determined preference for an individual's circadian rhythm. It is mainly divided into lark type (early to bed and early to rise, efficient in the morning), owl type (late to bed and late to rise, efficient late at night), and hummingbird type (intermediate).
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
- Energy management: Do not force "owls" to attend morning meetings; that is wasting their talent. Respect and utilize the biological clock, scheduling the most difficult work during your peak hours rather than standard working hours.
Anchor fast decisions
The circadian rhythm (biological clock) is regulated by genes and the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus, causing different individuals to have peaks in body temperature, alertness, and hormones at different times of the day. Lark types are optimal in the morning, owl types at night, and hummingbird types in between; the rhythm also changes with age (adolescents tend to be evening types, older adults morning types).
