Scientists studied people with strange sleep patterns who visited clinics.
Of the total, 12 patients were diagnosed with advanced sleep phase, but four didn't want to take part in the study. This amounted to 0.03 percent of the participants, which was scaled up to one in 300 of the general population. The number of people with advanced sleep phase is therefore likely to be higher, according to the researchers, due to their problems with recruiting participants.
These early risers were also more likely to sleep in for just five to ten minutes on their day off compared with the average person, who might indulge in up to an extra 30 to 38 minutes in bed.recommends that those with the condition try to work their daily activities around their body clock rather than fighting against it. They would, for instance, be ideal for an early shift at work.
"We hope the results of this study will not only raise awareness of advanced sleep phase and familial advanced sleep phase but also help identify the circadian clock genes and any medical conditions that they may influence," he said.
