If you\u2019re an astrology<\/a> enthusiast like me, then you\u2019ve probably looked at your birth chart several times in your life to figure out everything about yourself\u2014your relationships, your communication style, your basic tendencies (I’m very much an emotional Pisces), and so much more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And while there\u2019s so much to take in from astrology when it comes to learning about yourself, I most recently discovered something that\u2019s a lot more nuanced when it comes to self-reflection\u2014and that\u2019s your human design. But what exactly is<\/em> it\u2014and can knowing your human design type help you sleep better?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is human design?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ever wondered why you need to always take a nap<\/a> in the middle of the day, while your best friend can go, go, go without so much as pausing for a breath? How about why you need tons of sound and stimulation to enjoy a fun meal out, while your partner prefers quiet restaurants or eating at home? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While these nuances in our personalities might seem random, according to human design expert and master coach Emma Dunwoody<\/a>, it\u2019s all because of your human design blueprint\u2014and yes, we all have one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHuman design looks at the energies present at the time of our birth, and how we are each uniquely imprinted for life in that moment,\u201d she explains. \u201cIt shows us how we best use our energy, how we make decisions, how we find opportunities, and so much more.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much like astrological birth charts, human design is a system based on your exact time, date, and place of birth. But unlike<\/em> your birth chart, it aims to explain every aspect of your personality<\/a> through a combination of centers, planets, numerology, and more. It\u2019ll show you how best you eat, sleep, find and maintain relationships, and even work, says Dunwoody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHuman design is similar to personality profiling tools like enneagram<\/a> or Myers-Briggs, but instead of taking tests to find it\u2014which would give you a more subjective viewpoint and change based on your emotions\u2014human design is a synthesis of ancient wisdom and modern science (astrology, the Hindu Chakra system, the Kabbalah Tree of Life, the Chinese iChing, and quantum physics) that uses your birth date and time to generate a more objective result,\u201d she explains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find your own unique human design blueprint, you can insert your date, place, and time of birth onto any of the following websites: My Human Design<\/a>, myBodyGraph<\/a>, or Human Design Blueprint<\/a>. From there, you\u2019ll be able to access your own human design chart and see everything from your type to your centers and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Human design looks at the energies present at the time of our birth, and how we are each uniquely imprinted for life in that moment.

What are the different human design types?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to human design, there are five major types, and each one determines how you use your energy\u2014and therefore how best to replenish it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHuman design has a lot to say about how we use our innate energy and ways to restore it,\u201d says Ilona Barnhart<\/a>, a human design reader at Four Moons Spa<\/a> in San Diego. \u201cOnce you understand how your unique energy works, you can leverage it and gain the deepest, most satiating, and rejuvenating sleep of your life. There are five energy types in human design, and each uses and replenishes energy uniquely.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, your energy type in human design also informs what is called your strategy, your signature, and your not-self theme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYour strategy is how you make use of opportunities in your life, your signature is the sign that you\u2019re living in line with your human design, and your not-self theme is the indication or feeling that comes up when you\u2019re not living in accordance with your design,\u201d explains Barnhart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a brief explanation of the energy types below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
