"Genetic Links Between Sleep Patterns and Mental Health"
TL;DR
Researchers have discovered genetic links between sleep patterns and neuropsychiatric conditions such as autism, ADHD, and bipolar disorder. Polygenic risk score analysis shows that autism and schizophrenia are associated with an evening chronotype, while ADHD, schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder are linked to insomnia. These findings could lead to new treatments for sleep disturbances in these patients.
