A person who goes to bed early and wakes up early is known as which chronotype?

• A. Early chronotype
• B. Late chronotype
• C. Intermediate chronotype
• D. Night owl chronotype

Answer: (A)

Chronotypes describe the natural timing of when a person’s body wants to sleep and be awake. An early chronotype, sometimes called a morning type or morning lark, naturally goes to bed early and wakes up early because their circadian rhythm is set earlier. They tend to feel most alert in the morning and may wake up without much difficulty at dawn. The described pattern—going to bed early and waking up early—fits this profile best, whereas a late chronotype would sleep late and wake late, and an intermediate chronotype falls somewhere in between.
