Well, so sci-fi aside, you just need a small base editor inside a BBB-penetrating AAV to knock in a SNP into something like DEC2. https://t.co/TtYisPNBwQ So technically this can be done. @scifri https://t.co/IXsjWdbjEq

What people are saying
Discussions show strong support for the importance of DEC2 in sleep regulation, with examples like a mention of a mother and daughter thriving on minimal sleep, which underscores curiosity and relevance. The tone varies from technical references to speculative remarks about future applications, demonstrating both engagement with details and optimism about the study’s potential impact.
Most discussions support the idea that DEC2 gene mutations influence sleep duration, highlighting the study's significance.
The topics generate high interest, with references to potential applications and biological mechanisms.
Several posts delve into scientific details and implications, indicating active engagement.
The posts suggest that the research could have meaningful implications for understanding sleep regulation and potential therapies.
Abstract in brief
- The study identifies a mutation in the human gene hDEC2 (P385R) that is linked to shorter sleep duration in humans.
- Transgenic mice engineered with this mutation exhibited increased alertness and reduced sleep, especially under specific timing and sleep deprivation conditions, mimicking the human short sleep trait.
- These mice serve as a valuable model for understanding how sleep regulation genes affect sleep patterns and overall health in humans.]

@MrBallen New fav: DEC2 (Short Sleepers): Mutation: P385R Effect: Ability to function well on 4-6 hrs of sleep per night. Example: A mother and daughter who thrive on minimal sleep. Study: He Y, et al. (2009). "The transcriptional repressor DEC2 regulates sleep length in mammals." Science.
@waitbutwhy There are (a very small number of) people with naturally occurring mutations to DEC2 (6hrs) or ADRB1 (4hrs) genes that function normally with less average sleep. The body is capable of seems, it’s a matter of configuration. https://t.co/ofmSffeGTY https://t.co/HR8V9GfY7y
