Estudo sobre genes e sono

Citando:
"They identified 351 genetic variations linked to being a “morning lark” or “night owl”.

Those with the most “night” variations were programmed to wake up to 25 minutes later.


And they were more likely to suffer frommental health issues.


But the boffins found no link between these genetic variations, sleep duration and sleep quality.


They also made no difference to the risk of developing type 2 diabetes or obesity.


Eye opening


It is thought the genes affect the effectiveness of the retina, which reacts to sunlight and “resets” the body clock each day."
