A May 2021 study at the University of Colorado Boulder and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard said, 

  • "We have known for some time that there is a relationship between sleep timing and mood, but a question we often hear from clinicians is: How much earlier do we need to shift people to see a benefit?" 

  • "We found that even one-hour earlier sleep timing is associated with significantly lower risk of depression."

  • "Our genetics are set at birth so some of the biases that affect other kinds of epidemiological research tend not to affect genetic studies,"

  • "We live in a society that is designed for morning people, and evening people often feel as if they are in a constant state of misalignment with that societal clock,"

  • "Keep your days bright and your nights dark,”

  • "Have your morning coffee on the porch. Walk or ride your bike to work if you can, and dim those electronics in the evening."
