Short Sleeper Syndrome, a rare sleep disorder, affects individuals needing remarkably less sleep than average. While most adults require 7 to 9 hours of sleep, those with SSS thrive on only 4 to 6 hours without fatigue. Current research hints at genetic factors, such as the DEC2 gene, contributing to this intriguing condition. Despite its surface benefits, SSS poses potential health risks due to increased chances of sleep deprivation and its impacts on overall well-being.
