Your Hair Reveals Whether You're a Morning Person

Early bird or late riser? The mysteries of your sleep cycle may be unlocked by the hairs on your head, a new study says.

That's because the genes that regulate our body clocks can be found in hair-follicle cells, researchers have discovered.

A tiny portion of the brain called the suprachiasmatic nucleus controls the human body clock, and RNA strands—protein-building chains of molecules—process these signals throughout the body in 24-hour cycles.
