is sleep genetic?

255 views

I tried searching for it online but all that came up was a gene that allows humans to be able to survive on 6 hours of sleep. I’m not talking about this.
Since I was a child I could always fall asleep in a matter of seconds and would rarely ever wake up during the night. My lifestyle is neither good or bad and it makes me wonder if deep sleep is genetic?

Yes, sleep patterns have a lot to do with genetics. Check out this study.
