Morningness

Are you an early bird or a night owl? Age plays a big role -- teenagers tend toward a night owl lifestyle, while senior people are usually up at the crack of dawn. Besides your age, genetics also influences the time of day you tend to be more active and alert.
You have a stronger tendency for brain arousal to persist
Sample result

Brain Arousal at Resting State

Arousal is a brain state associated with wakefulness and drowsiness. While environmental conditions substantially contribute to increasing or depressing brain arousal, like the presence or absence of threat and stimuli, there are well-established interindividual differences based on genetics. Brain arousal is linked to cognition, emotion, and behavior.
You have a stronger tendency for a shorter sleep duration
Sample result

Sleep Duration

Sleep duration is the length of shut-eye time needed. Whatever our sleep duration is, we should strive to meet that. Chronic sleep deprivation or disturbance is associated with a host of chronic diseases
You are more prone to daytime sleepiness
Sample result

Excessive Daytime Sleepiness

An adult who is compelled to nap repeatedly during the day may have excessive daytime sleepiness if it persists chronically. It is characterized by persistent sleepiness and often a general lack of energy, even during the day after apparently adequate or even prolonged nighttime sleep.
Your sleep quality is likely to be average.

Sleep quality

Both sleep quantity and quality play major roles in many aspects of life, such as mental health, work productivity, and general wellness. Nearly 25% of individuals have sleep difficulties. Several aspects of sleep phenotypes, including sleep quality, have been demonstrated to be heritable.
You are less likely to have a nap during the day.
Sample result

Daytime Napping

Naps are short daytime sleep episodes that are evolutionarily conserved across diverse diurnal species ranging from flies to polyphasic mammals. In human adults, daytime napping is highly prevalent in Mediterranean cultures and it is also common in non-Mediterranean countries including the United States. Although napping seems to have an acute benefit on increased arousal in the setting of sleep deprivation, the long-term effects of habitual napping on chronic disease risk remain controversial.
You are likely to experience difficulty in waking up in the morning.
Sample result

Ease of Awakening

Awakening is a physiological process that refers to transition from sleep to waking and a crucial event for humans. Ease of awakening is one of the important sleep-related phenotypes which has been extensively studied in sleep research.
