Living with a short sleep gene: 'It's a gift'
CNN
Some people are blessed with the genetic ability to sleep only five hours a night with no harmful effects. Meet one of the first families to be studied for this unusual short sleep gene.
"I've never been normal when it came to sleep," Brad told CNN. "Other people, even some of my siblings, slept eight, nine, 10 hours a night. I just couldn't do it, it was physically impossible. If you paid me a million dollars to sleep eight hours tonight, I couldn't." It didn't seem to matter what time he went to bed, how little sleep he'd had or how tired he was from the day's activities, both as a child and now, at age 64, Brad said.More Related News
