160215早起的人會比晚睡的人更瘦.jpg  

A study that analyzed the DNA of self-professed 'night owls' and 'morning larks' found that people who like to rise early tend to be thinner than those who go to bed later.
通過分析“夜貓子”和“早起鳥”的DNA,研究發現:早起的人會比晚睡的人更瘦。

They are also less prone to depression and less likely to suffer from insomnia.
Almost 90,000 people were asked if they were naturally a morning or a night person and had their DNA analyzed.
This revealed 15 genes that were linked to a person being a 'lark' or an 'owl'.
A preference for mornings rose with age, with more than twice as many of over-60s describing themselves as morning types than under-30s.
Women were more likely to enjoy mornings than men, the journal Nature Communications reports.
The researchers, from the California-based genetic testing company 23andMe aren't sure why a person's body clock might be so strongly linked to health.
But it might to be as simple as too many late nights taking their toll on evening types.
