Super Sleeper or Bedtime Battler? Check out our four Sleep IDs … and pick which one you think you are.

 
 
 

Bedtime Battler

Bedtime Battlers aren’t sleeping well at all and it’s really impacting their life. High stress levels, not being in the best health or having a great understanding of how to get good sleep are all contributing to this.

Are you a Bedtime Battler?

 
 

Rest Rebel

Rarely getting the right amount of sleep, Rest Rebels could be almost anyone. Taking an irregular amount of exercise and having low to moderate stress levels, they often rate the quality of their sleep as anything from ‘less than ideal’ ‘to ‘terrible’.

Are you a Rest Rebel?

 
 

Doona Dodger

Doona Dodgers may think they’re sleeping pretty well, but can often feel the impact of a poor night’s sleep. Two likely culprits could be their inconsistent daily routines, plus a much higher reliance on naps to get their daily sleep.

Are you a Doona Dodger?

 
 

Super Sleeper

As the name suggests, Super Sleepers enjoy a very consistent pattern of sleep. Usually in good health, they have little stress in their lives, exercise regularly, and have few financial worries.
