We love a good night's sleep!
Happy World
Sleep Day

What type of sleeper are you? A Bear, Wolf, Lion or perhaps a Dolphin?

During sleep, we recharge our batteries, and our body performs the most complex regeneration processes, while at the same time we explore beautiful dream worlds to continue dancing through life rested. The sleep rhythm in which we do this best is just as individual as the choice of the perfect foam mattress. In the world of sleeping habits, there are more than just early risers (larks) and night owls.

The world-famous sleep researcher Dr. Michael Breus, whose name shines like a star in the scientific sky, helps us find the right rhythm based on our sleep behavior. He classifies our sleep habits into four animal chronotypes:

The Bear:

The bear chronotype follows the sun’s path, much like wild bears. It wakes up when the sun rises in the early morning and retreats when it gets dark in the early evening. Its main productive time is between 10 am and 2 pm. Bears are generally in a good mood and sociable. If you need to discuss challenging matters with a bear, mornings and lunchtime are ideal.

The Wolf:

Wolves are the creative night owls among the chronotypes. They usually wake up later in the day and could do with an extra cup of coffee. They feel most productive between 10 am and 4 pm. Wolves experience an energy boost in the evening. Important conversations with a wolf are best held in the evening. Midnight or later is a common bedtime for wolves.

The Lion:

Lions are the kings of the morning hours. They tend to wake up early, often around 5 am, and feel most energetic and productive before noon. In the evening, Lions do not last as long and are not "party animals". Lions usually settle down in the early evening and fall asleep by 10 pm at the latest. You can discuss difficult topics with a Lion all day long, even over breakfast.

The Dolphin:

In the wild, dolphins often stay alert while sleeping to avoid predators. The human chronotype is similar: it tends to be sensitive to light and noise during sleep, often waking up at night. Many dolphin chronotypes also experience insomnia. However, they have a strong productivity window between 10 am and 2 pm.
