"Sequencing families like the Johnsons, researchers found that needing less sleep is usually caused by a few changes in single proteins:
- A less-stable version of an inhibitory adrenaline receptor (ADRB1: A187V);
- Variations in a glutamate receptor (GRM1: R889W or S458A)[3];
- A more active receptor of wakefulness-promoting neuropeptide S (NPSR1: Y206H);
- And most well-researched, a less-stable version of DEC2, which inhibits the wakefulness hormone orexin (Y362H or P385R)."
