Abstract excerpt
Sleep is essential for health and regulated by genetic and environmental factors. We perform genome-wide association studies of device-measured sleep duration, efficiency, and accelerometer-derived rapid eye movement (REM) and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep in 80,013 UK Biobank participants. We identify 20 autosomal loci, 12 of which have not been previously reported, including genome-wide significant...
