Arrow possible genetic component to Night Owl/ Morning Lark

First physical evidence of why you're an owl or a lark

Quote:
Around 10 per cent of people qualify as morning people or larks, and a further 20 per cent are night owls – with the rest of us falling somewhere in between.
Your lark or night owl status is called your chronotype.
Quote:
Previous studies have suggested that night owls experience worse sleep, more tiredness during the day and consume greater amounts of tobacco and alcohol.
This has prompted some to suggest that they are suffering from a form of chronic jet lag.
Everytime I see pdoc she tells me it is better to sleep during the night and says something about diurnal rhythms.
I do not find that helpful.
