The Genetics of Sleep: How Your DNA Dictates Your Rest

Ever wonder why some people thrive on six hours of rest while others are "zombies" without nine? It isn’t just a matter of discipline or habit; the answer is likely hardwired into your very cells. In this video, Sleep2DreamAnalytics explores the hidden genetic code that dictates how, when, and for how long we sleep. We move beyond mattresses and routines to investigate heritability—the measure of how much our sleep differences are due to our DNA versus our lifestyle. You will learn how scientists transitioned from simple family studies to high-resolution Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) to map the entire human genome for sleep-related "typos". In this educational explainer, you will learn: • The Heritability Factor: Why DNA affects everything from your wake-up time to how well you bounce back from an all-nighter. • Common vs. Rare Variants: The difference between tiny, cumulative "typos" and major "game-changer" mutations. • The Narcolepsy Breakthrough: How a single gene variant can make someone 700 times more likely to have narcolepsy, proving it is an autoimmune disorder. • Validating RLS: How genetics provided the "cold hard proof" that Restless Leg Syndrome is a biological condition, not just "in your head". • The Sleep Apnea Puzzle: Why Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is so difficult to solve, involving five different genetic puzzles like jaw shape and brain control. • The DEC2 "Slam Dunk": How a rare mutation allows some "natural short sleepers" to function perfectly on just six hours. • The Future of Personalised Sleep: How epigenetics and whole-genome sequencing are leading us toward tailored sleep medicine. By understanding our biological roadmap, we can stop fighting our nature and start optimising our rest based on our unique genetic blueprints.
