All people are divided into “larks” and “owls”. Larks Wake up with the first rays of the sun and genuinely enjoying our morning, while owls stay awake all night and then sleep until dinner, and only Wake them up in the morning – like death. Large-scale scientific research, organized a private American biotech company 23andMe, in fact proved that there is a gene that make a person more inclined to Wake up early in the morning. So if you like to sleep in the morning is not a whim but a feature of your genetics.
The results of studies of DNA, which was attended by over 89 000 people, were published in the journal Nature. During the project, scientists have identified 15 genetic markers that are directly related to lark man or an owl. Studies have also shown that among the larks dominated by women and elderly people aged over 60. Such people rarely suffer from depression or insomnia, but they sleep no more than 8 hours a day. The owners of gene lark is also more lean and toned than owls, but the organizers of the study emphasize that if you will Wake up early in the morning, it is unlikely to lose a lot of weight from it.
The correlation identified in the framework of the project is an excellent opportunity to conduct a full-scale pharmaceutical company 23andMe research, during which, for example, you can try to create a drug that protects people from depression.
