Hate mornings? Blame your DNA: Study discover the genes that make us 'night owls' or 'larks'
Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, happy and slim, according to new research.
新研究顯示,早睡早起有助于身體健康,保持心情愉悅,還有瘦身功效.
A study that analysed the DNA of self-professed 'nights owls' and 'morning larks' found that people who like to rise early tend to be thinner than those who go to bed later.

They are also less prone to depression and less likely to suffer from insomnia.
早起的人罹患抑郁癥和失眠癥的幾率也更小.
Almost 90,000 people were asked if they were naturally a morning or a night person and had their DNA analysed.
此項研究讓近9萬人選擇自己是"夜貓子"還是"早起鳥",并分析了他們的DNA.
This revealed 15 genes that were linked to a person being a 'lark' or an 'owl'.
研究結果表明,人類體內(nèi)有15個基因與"早起還是晚睡"有關.
A preference for mornings rose with age, with more than twice as many of over-60s describing themselves as morning types than under-30s.
