The link is indirect: variants in CYP2C19 can affect the metabolism of certain sleep medications (e.g., diazepam, which is partially metabolized by CYP2C19) or antidepressants that influence sleep. However, evidence for a standalone effect on sleep quality, latency, or architecture is weak. No major GWAS have identified CYP2C19 as a primary factor for sleep traits.
