• Each of us has a master internal body clock in our brains, along with many smaller cellular clocks that track and absorb outside information.
• The master clock then makes the necessary body changes, like releasing hormones and chemicals that affect our alertness, hunger and sleep.

Our various biochemical signals, daily lifestyle, and genetic inclinations develop a specific chronotype in us, that is basically our overall biological response to the outside world.

These chronotypes are categorized as: Morning, Day or Night. The person with a morning chronotype will wake up early in the morning and start to feel hungry sooner than the person with a Day or Night chronotype.
