Early to Bed, Early to Rise - It's All in the Genes

LONDON (Reuters) - A mutant gene rather than anti social tendencies may be the cause of people going to sleep and waking up unsociably early, scientists said on Wednesday.
They made their discovery after studying three generations of a family in which five members suffered from the so-called earlybird ailment officially known as Familial Advanced Sleep Phase Syndrome.

I just reread it... I thought it said "unconscionably" instead of "unsociably". Gee, I guess waking up early is rather offensive to me.
