Live Like a Caveman!
« on: November 18, 2011, 09:06:05 AM »
Hi Everyone!

Most Paleos know that Circadian Rhythms are a crucial part of the Caveman lifestyle. Our bodies are all biologically geared to eat, sleep, and exercise at different times based on our unique circadian rhythms, but most of our schedules are still dictated by work times and other commitments. To help fellow Paleos live more in sync with their circadian rhythms, a friend from Intel and I developed an app that displays your body's unique natural daily rhythm.

Based on advanced chronobiological research and your precise real-time location relative to the sun (to which your "body clock" is set), Anatimi determines your unique chronotype and optimal sleep, wake, energy peak and energy dip times every day. By making small adjustments to your daily schedule with Anatimi, you can live (as your Caveman self would have) by your natural circadian rhythm to sleep better, play harder and work more productively.

Anatimi is designed by Paleos, for Paleos, so I'd love to hear what you all think about the app!

I'm interested, but I work shift work. My shift times are 0700-1500, 1330-2130, or 2045-0745.

Am I doomed to a poor sleeping pattern or can this thing sort it out for me? Or should I just do it on the days that I can?

Hi Spax,

Depending on your chronotype (whether you're a "morning person" or "night owl" for example), your unique optimal wake-up time may very well be before 0700. In other words, on days where you work morning and swing shift Anatimi could really help you out. The app includes a Chronotype-Benchmark Test that determines your personal chronotype, why not give it a try and see how it works for you?

Especially for shift workers, achieving as much regularity as possible in your sleep schedule is really important for good health (as I'm sure you know).

Hope that helps, and all the best to a fellow Paleo trying to cope with an unnatural work schedule!
