In one of the largest studies of the association of genomes with insomnia, researchers have confirmed that this condition is hereditary and have discovered genetic mutations that may be responsible for it.
Led by psychiatrist Murray Stein of the University of California, San Diego, the study analysed data from STARRS – the largest study of mental health among US military personnel to date.
