There are a very small minority that seem to have a genetic component requiring less sleep for them (4-6hr). https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2018/03/410051/scientists-discover... | ||

A subsequent study has not found any link between the ADRB1/DEC2/other gene mutations and various sleep conditions: - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9499244/ I am incapable of sleeping more than about 5.5 hours (unless I'm severely sleep deprived). So to me it seems likely that FNSS (familial natural short sleep) is a thing, but more research is needed I guess. | ||
