‘Morning people’ linked with higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease

The findings, published in the journal Neurology, are based on an analysis of data gathered from different genome-wide association studies, which involve identifying genes associated with various human diseases.

Those at higher genetic risk of Alzheimer’s disease are more likely to call themselves a “morning person”, according to a study.

Researchers have also found that people who have a greater risk of developing the progressive condition are less likely to have insomnia.
