Genotype Impact What it means
CC (Normal) Normal Standard circadian rhythm - flexible sleep timing. Keep consistent sleep/wake times and morning daylight.
CG (Carrier) Low impact Intermediate chronotype - moderate sensitivity to schedule changes. Keep regular sleep hours, get morning light, and avoid late screens and caffeine.
GG (Variant) Moderate Stronger chronotype tendency (earlier or later preference) - more vulnerable to sleep disruption from irregular schedules. Anchor consistent sleep/wake times, morning light, and a caffeine cut-off by early afternoon.
