I’m a lion, and as the author pointed out—lions rarely need help figuring out their “rhythms”
For the most part, I was already living the “ideal lion schedule” the only difference was I do not eat breakfast at 6am within minuties of waking up (gross) and I do not “workout” in the evening or late afternoon. For two weeks I tried going to 4/5/6 PM yoga instead of my usual 6/7 AM and it didn’t seem to benefit me; if anything it made me LESS likely to do any yoga. I was also way lazier (eg les steps than the average by day and week.) less chores done too —laundry and dishes piled up and I’m usually OCD about doing them as part of my morning routine after yoga) I also didn’t go to the grocery store midweek—something else that I didn’t realize was linked to a morning routine and yoga practice (store is next to yoga, going in the morning is easy. Going after I’m exhausted from a full day is not)
For years, I have taken long walks after dinner, so perhaps that “counts” anyway!
Despite my best efforts I could never get myself to eat breakfast so early. 30 mins of waking?

Good biohacking concept as it expands on the “early bird” and “night owls” dichotomy. After introducing each chronotype the book got a bit repetitive. It’s not the type of book I read in one go, just jump around to different sections of interest.
I hate it the way the whole book is built on top of a silly cold-reading, glossy magazine style quiz where you're either a dolphin, a bear, a lion or a wolf chronotype. You feel like only 1/4th of the book is for you but if you start reading the parts that aren't for your chronotype, they make just as much sense. This felt like reading an horoscope section at times.
This book is written by an expert in helping people sleep. Most of the advice is based on sleep patterns. I didn't expect this book to be mostly about biorhythm. There's a lot of good advice in here too, stuff that made me think about my health in a few novel ways. I applied some of the tips and must say they are effective, because getting enough sleep is good. That's why it gets 3 stars from me.

It's really lovely writing, but there's quite a lot of it. I lost traction several times and had to force myself to go back to it. Yes to the sisterhood, feminism, and individual struggles to be who you are. No to the rollercoaster plot that with so much going on, still seemed slow at times.
