"Chronotype" - attribute reflecting at what time of the day a human's physical functions are active, change or reach a certain level.
To determine the best time to nap, it helps to know your chronotype. In other words, if you were entirely free to plan your day, what time would you go to bed, wake up and take a nap?
Larks are usually apt to wake as early as 6am and go to sleep around 9 pm or 10 pm. This will usually lead you to feeling sleepy around 1-1:30 pm.
Owls usually prefer to go to bed after midnight or 1am and wake around 8 am or 9 am. This leads to a later "sleep gate" and will leave you feeling a sleepy around 2:30-3 pm.
