According to DNA Land Circadian Rhythm Trait Prediction I am a morning person.
Practice is much different than genetics in this case, because I often stay up late. But I have never suffered from insomnia, and morning people are less likely to suffer from it (according to the description):
Overview
Your "chronotype" refers to your natural preferred sleep schedule and is determined by your circadian rhythms. A morning person (or early bird) prefers to get up early and go to bed early, whereas an evening person (or night owl) prefers to sleep in and stay up late. Circadian rhythms are governed by a region of the hypothalamus called the suprachiasmatic nucleus, and are now known to be influenced by genetics, although environmental factors and social influences like work and school schedules also play a significant role.
This report is derived from a case-control study of around 90,000 individuals who self-reported whether they were a morning or evening person 1. In the study cohort, the authors report a higher prevalence of being a morning person in women (48.4%) versus men (39.7%). The authors also report a number of associations with other traits: for example, morning people were less likely to report suffering from insomnia and depression.
Your score can be interpreted as a probability of being a morning person. Higher scores suggest you are a morning person, and lower scores suggest you are an evening person.
