Loss of sleep is harmful and often annoying. The body can get tired, sleepy and decreased concentration. But, for some people who get 'privilege', loss of sleep one or two hours in the evening does not seem significant problems.

Those who received the gift of it is people who naturally do not need to sleep for long or short term also called a sleeper. According to experts, these special people have mutations in the gene hDEC2, which controls the sleep cycle. Mutation that makes them not have a problem though should be deprived of sleep.

Some famous people who believed a short sleeper of them are former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, actor James Franco and business and culinary expert Martha Stewart. Questioning whether the trends they always take a nap due to genetic factors or because willpower is not clearly known.

According to Ying-Hui Fu, professor of neurology at the University of California San Francisco USA, those who naturally have a tendency as a short sleeper does have a competitive advantage. Even so, maybe not many people in this world have the gene mutation.

"It's hard to say how often the case these mutations occur," he said.

In the laboratory where she works, Fu found only about 20 to 30 people who have genetic mutations that are believed to contribute to the ability to sleep only a few moments.

Most of those who have this mutation was somewhat special. They have two types of work, a successful career and enjoy a variety of hobbies.

"Every day, they had two or three hours of free time to do something. They are very active," said Fu.

Amy Avery, a resident of Atlanta, is one of them which includes having that privilege. Although it was not clear whether he had the gene mutation, but Avery said he used to sleep only four to five hours every night.

Despite the short sleep every night, Amy does not require or coffee or other caffeinated beverages while working in the daytime.

"I've experienced it for a long time. I can work full and does not evaporate or fatigue during the day," he said.

Avery every day can take care of his family, but he also worked full-time as a digital director at an advertising company. Two children, aged 2 and 5 years, always sleep around 9 and her husband at 10. After that the child and her husband fell asleep, Avery can do household chores like washing. He also watched television, read books and complete the duties of his office.
