In-Depth Guide & Mathematical Methodology

🦉 Circadian Chronotypes & Suprachiasmatic Nucleus

Lark / Morning Type (~25%): Early rise, peak focus early morning, early melatonin release (~21:00).

Bear / Intermediate (~50%): Follows solar cycle, peak focus mid-day (10:00-14:00).

Owl / Evening Type (~25%): Delayed phase, peak creative focus late afternoon/evening (17:00-21:00).
