Sleep Quality Quiz
I designed this quiz myself so I'm very proud of it. It's short and to the point. I suggest doing it about once a month so that you can keep track of your progress over time. What you'll like about this quiz is that it's very easy to score, and what you'll like even more about it, unlike with most other quizzes, is that you don't have to give me your email address so that I can send you junk mail. Enjoy the quiz.

Chronotype Quiz
Cronotype is the natural inclination of your body to sleep at a certain time, or what most people understand as being an early bird versus a night owl. In addition to regulating sleep and wake times, chronotype has an influence on appetite, exercise, and core body temperature. It is responsible for the fact that you feel more alert at certain periods of the day and sleepier at others.
