- Additional information
- This is the first very large-scale study of influence of genetic factors on chronotypes (propensity for an individual to sleep). Important relations have been identified between chronotypes and individuals’ education attainment. This finding has stimulated multiple studies focused on examining sleep therapies to improve learning disabilities and problems. The sample of over 100,000 individuals analysed is large enough to support policy changes.
