"Morning Person Traits Linked to Increased Anorexia Risk, Studies Suggest"

A study published in JAMA Network Open by researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital and other institutions has discovered a genetic association between anorexia nervosa and being an early riser, as well as a link to higher insomnia risk. This contrasts with other psychiatric disorders that are typically evening-based. The findings suggest potential new directions for anorexia nervosa prevention and treatment, focusing on circadian-based therapies, although the clinical implications require further research.
