“scientists have discovered a rare breed who consistently get little shut-eye & are no worse for wear. Natural short sleepers, as they are called, are genetically wired to need only 4 - 6hrs of #sleep a night": https://buff.ly/4fAFpw5 from @smithsonianmag.bsky.social #MedSky #sleeping #ShortSleepers
