>In 2009, researchers described a mother and daughter with a mutation in a gene called DEC2 who felt well rested after with about 6 hours of sleep per night.
>Now, by studying another family containing naturally short sleepers, the scientists have identified another mutation, which they estimate is present in roughly four of every 100,000 people. Mice genetically engineered to have this mutation slept, on average, 1 hour less per day than controls, the researchers report online today in Neuron.

>[In 2009] we reported a mutation in the human DEC2 gene that causes mutation carriers to sleep 6h nightly for their entire lives without apparent negative effects
>Another mutation in DEC2 was later reported in a single individual who is a short sleeper and resistant to sleep deprivation
How does it feel to be genetically inferior, /sci/?
