There were strong genetic influences on sleep-wake phenotypes, particularly on sleep timing, in adolescence. Moreover, there may be common genetic influences underlying both sleep and circadian rhythms. The differences in sleep-wake behaviors on school and nonschool nights could be attributable to genetic factors involved in reactivity to environmental context.
