ARTICLE 1: Why Does Lack of Sleep Affect Us Differently? Study Hints It May Be in Our Genes

The American Academy of Neurology was the institution incharge of performing this research. The eseriment was about finding out what causes everyone of us to have a diferent lack of sleep effect. They found out that some of us have a sleep variant called  DQB1*0602. They got participants with the variant and participants without it. The diference they showed in the process was that the people with the variant sleep much more, but woke up a lot of times and was not rested. The ones without the variant were totally opposite. People without the variant, they sleep less or at least they do not suffer of excess of sleep hours. They feel rested and don`t wake up a lot. Also they have more sleep drive. This was a very interestin gresearch because I did not knew that this variant existed and that it could cause a lot of difference.
