About this instrument
Some people are wide awake at 5 a.m., others only get going at 11 p.m. It's not about being disciplined or lazy. Everyone has their own body clock , known as a chronotype . This test helps you find your chronotype, your best hours for focus, and ways to sleep better.
What you'll get:
Your main chronotype out of four
A result card to save and share
Your best hours for focus, exercise, and sleep
Sleep tips that suit your type
About this test: 20 statements, about 3 minutes. This is a self-reflection test , not a validated psychological test or a diagnosis of any sleep disorder.
Source: Mindovia Original. Questions, type names, and result texts were written by the Mindovia team. The concept draws on research on morningness-eveningness (Horne and Östberg, 1976), research on chronotype and social jetlag by Roenneberg et al. (2003) and Wittmann et al. (2006), the chronotype review by Adan et al. (2012), and general sleep hygiene guidance. This test does not use items from the Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire, the Munich ChronoType Questionnaire, or any other sleep questionnaire, and is not affiliated with these researchers. The animal type names are Mindovia's own.

How to take it
Think about your sleep over the past month . How well does each statement describe you?
There are no right or wrong answers.
If work or school sets your schedule, also think about what happens when you're free to choose, like on days off.
This test is for self-reflection, not a diagnosis of any sleep disorder. If you struggle to sleep most nights (say 3 or more nights a week for 3 months), feel very sleepy during the day, or snore loudly with pauses in breathing, check in with a doctor.
