Short Sleeper Syndrome (SSS), a rare and intriguing sleep disorder, is characterized by individuals needing remarkably less sleep than the average person. While most adults benefit from 7 to 9 hours of sleep, those with SSS thrive on just 4 to 6 hours without experiencing fatigue. This syndrome, linked to genetic factors particularly the DEC2 gene, showcases an interesting biological trait affecting health and lifestyle. Despite the seeming advantage of SSS, its genetic implications and potential health risks remain noteworthy.
