Method
Chronotype Mapping
Roenneberg, 2003; Breus, 2016
Your peak focus window is biological, not negotiable.
Chronotype is the genetically influenced timing of your circadian rhythm. Working against it costs hours of effective output. Working with it gives them back.
What the research shows
Roenneberg's MCTQ data on 65,000 plus people shows clear, stable individual differences in peak alertness windows.
Where evidence is weaker
Self reported chronotype quizzes are noisy. Real signal comes from your own session data over weeks.
How Focus Capsule applies it
Your insights engine learns your peak window from completed capsules and surfaces it once the sample is large enough to trust.
The four chronotypes
Lion
5 AM to 9 AMEarly riser. Peak energy in the morning, fades by late afternoon. About 15 to 20 percent of adults. Best with hard work right after waking up.
Bear
9 AM to 1 PMMost common type, roughly half of adults. Solar aligned. Peak focus in late morning before lunch. Energy dip mid afternoon.
Wolf
2 PM to 6 PMLate starter. Slow morning, energy climbs after lunch, sharpest in late afternoon and evening. About 15 to 20 percent of adults.
Dolphin
scatteredLight sleeper, variable peaks. Often anxious or insomnia prone. Energy depends on the day. Smaller share of the population.
