The Light Sleeping Gene
"Unfortunately for people with the variant, the sleep perk is offset by an increased risk of heart disease and diabetes."
Are you one of those people who can get by on only a fraction of the amount of sleep that others need? Do you stay up as late as the rest of us, yet still find it in you to bound out of bed at an early hour, entirely awake and refreshed? Turns out you may be genetically inclined to needing less sleep. I'm still jealous of you, even though I guess I can now blame my sluggish oversleeping tendencies on my DNA and not just my crippling lack of willpower. Yay?
