JAKARTA - Most people fall into one of the four sleep chronotypes, namely lions, bears, wolves, and dolphins. Understanding your sleep chronotype can help you figure out the best times to be productive, exercise, eat, and of course have sex. Curious? Here, a sleep expert describes the best time to have sex for each possible combination of sleep chronotype partners.

A simple explanation of the sleep chronotype

As author and certified sleep specialist Michael J. Breus, Ph.D., explains, your sleep chronotype is determined by your body's circadian rhythm, which plays a large role in your energy levels throughout the day.

When you know your sleep chronotype, you can schedule your daily activities in a way that makes sense according to your energy level. The following summarizes the four types of sleep chronotypes:

Lion: People who like to get up early and are most productive in the morning

Bear: Sun-synchronized sleep schedule, with most productivity in the morning

Wolf: Prefers to wake up during the day, most productive in the afternoon or evening

Dolphins: Difficulty getting up and falling asleep, most productive around noon.

Best time to have sex for each chronotype

First of all, Breus notes that there's never a "wrong" time to have sex, and all chronotypes benefit from having sex in the morning because hormonal levels when you first wake up are best rated. Breus explains, "like almost all daily activities, motivation and sexual desire ebb and flow according to your biological timing. Paying attention to the 'when' of your exact sexual desire can provide several benefits for your sex life," explains Breus.

The following list was compiled for all types of partners, keeping in mind the biological differences at play. Once you and your partner find each other's chronotype, it means you're ready to make out.

Dolphin woman and dolphin man: 8 p.m., 8 a.m. Dolphin woman and lion man: 8 p.m., 7 a.m. Dolphin woman and bear man: 10 p.m., 8 a.m. Dolphin woman and wolf man: 8 evening, 9 am Lion woman and dolphin man: 7 pm, 7 am Lion woman and lion man: 6 pm, 6 am Lion woman and bear man: 8 pm, 7 am Lion woman and wolf man: 7 pm, 8 am Bear woman and dolphin male: 8 p.m., 7:30 a.m. Female bear and lion male: 9 p.m., 7:30 a.m. Bear woman and bear male: 10 p.m., 7:30 a.m. Bear woman and wolf man: 10:30 p.m. , 8 am Female wolf male dolphin: 9 pm, 9 am Female wolf and male lion: 9 pm, 9 am Female wolf and male bear: 10 pm, 9 am, Female wolf and male wolf: 11 pm

The truth is, there's never a bad time to have sex, so don't feel like you have to pass up a sexual opportunity when the desire arises. But if you want to increase your arousal according to your body clock, pay attention to these special times and don't forget to put your mood first.
