      You have to force it upon yourself, sleep only 4 hours a day you'll be tired, but maybe a year later you'll be waking up every 4 hours on dot. You just have to force train your body, like you force train your body to build muscle

      I used to sleep only four hours, but it was because i was working two jobs. During my lunch breaks I would take power naps and my days off (which was only one or two) I'd spend all day regaining my energy by sleeping. Let me tell you, it felt horrible. Eventually I quit one job and am more happier for it. Also, I was between 18-23 and slim. Prime age with lots of energy and even then I felt crappy sleeping so little

      Im pretty sure that people, when they get into a routine feel a lot less tired. The chances that everyone that commented on your post, including you, have this genetic modification seems extremely low. If you wake up in a rem cycle it can make your sleep quality feel extremely bad so I would recommend that you try sleeping for 7 1/2 hours per night for a week if you can. Long term effects of sleep deprivation can be pretty serious so before you self diagnose, you should probably see a protectional. Not a specialist in any of this so don't quote me.

      Well I’d assume that your body just needs 12 hours to rest and do certain bodily functions as compared to other people, who just need 8 (or like in the video, 4).
      Taken another way, you could just say your body is less efficient at doing bodily functions and resting.

      Evolution is slow, it takes tens of thousands of years for a species to evolve, humans have just advanced so far in non biological ways quickly and we live such short lives, that evolution feels like its moving at a glacial pace. Human civilization is such a tiny sliver of time compared to the earth’s entire lifetime. Plus, it’s not like humans have as many selective pressures anymore, we don’t need to evolve useful survival traits because a lot less of humanity is struggling to survive and we have technology to do a lot of stuff for us. Mutations are rare and barely any of them are helpful, selective pressures are what give them a chance to spread through a population. “Sleeping on command” has never been something especially necessary for survival so it makes sense that we’ve never evolved to do it.

    I have been so relieved since I learned that my short sleeping is genetically based. Became aware of sleeping less in adolescence. I've always slept shorter than anyone I know. I believe that my dad was a 6 hour a night guy. Also, my mom was very sleep disordered and it runs in her side of the family for the females especially to be sleep disordered in terms of weird sleep habits.
    I've gone through most of my adult life with between 3 to 5 hours sleep per night. Hard for me to sleep past 3 hours unless I'm really exhausted. But I do try and get 5 hours, because I have been worried that less was going to kill me. Now I know, if I sleep four and a half hours or whatever then just go with the flow. I have an incredible memory which both my parents had, but my dad had a photographic memory, which I inherited. I'm a natural optimist, which pulls me out of the myriad reasons I have for depression and anxiety. I'm known for my excellent memory among my friends. Have exceptional autobiographical memory.
    Life has been rough so at least I got some kind of genetic lottery! Now I can really appreciate it. Now I know it's not going to kill me and that I'm not a complete freak! It is truly such a relief to know that I'm a natural short sleeper and that it's a thing! Hats off to the researchers who have found the genetic mutation which causes this unusual pattern! And hallelujah that I'm one of the lucky ones in this regard!

    Question, do short sleepers sleep longer when extremely exhausted or feel unwell?

      I still only sleep 4 to 5hrs regardless of being ill. I just take an hr power nap if needed. I'm also very rarely exhausted ever.

    My whole life I've been struggling to force myself to sleep because you always hear you need 6 to 8 hours, then after 2 hours of trying give up because im wide awake. I feel 100% with 4 to 5 hours of sleep and it's nice to know this information. Since I was a kid I layed in bed for hours cause I "should" be sleeping.

    It's insane
    When i go for 6 or more i always feel exhausted and need more (sometimes i go up to 12 and still feel tired)
    But if i wake up after only 4 i'm fully charged for whatever reason.
    I just heard the pain threshold part! Now i'm sure i have "it" whatever this is.😳

    I always told my mom that I felt good with 4-5hrs of sleep and if I slept 8 I would feel even more tired. I never understood why and thought there was something wrong with me. I’m glad I found this video

    I have the DEC2 Gene and it was an honor to contribute to science by being part of a initial sleep study in my youth. There was a moment where my family didn't know if I had a brain tumor or something that was killing me, and I'm thankful that Neurology Researchers could give me and everyone who knows me, peace of mind.
