In the spirit of personalized medicine, here are a sleep researcher's tips for finding a sleep routine that's tailor-made for your DNA. 🧬
What if there was a system that could control your sleep, digestion, metabolism, mood, and more—and a simple way to keep it running smoothly? As it turns out, there is, and it's called the circadian rhythm.
Axelrod studies the inner workings of our sleep circadian clocks at Rockefeller University in the lab of Michael Young, who won the 2017for his discovery that they're actually genetic, meaning that the tendency to be more of a night owl or early bird is partially written into our genes. The genetic component of chronotypes is important because it proves that in order to get a good night's rest, we need to workour body's natural sleep preferences, not against them. So, in the spirit of personalized medicine, here are Axelrod's tips for finding a sleep routine that's tailor-made for your DNA.While you can't walk into a doctor's office to quickly get your sleep chronotype tested , Axelrod notes that you probably have a pretty good idea of it already.
