诸如撒切尔、甘地和丘吉尔等人即使睡眠很少看起来也容光焕发，但是他们毕竟是少数。

 

In fact, researchers at the University of California,San Francisco discovered a gene¹ mutation² in people that predisposed them to needing about 20per cent less sleep than the rest of us.

 

事实上，加州大学的研究者们发现某些人身体中存在一种基因突变，使得他们所需睡眠要比其他人少20%。

但是他们估计这些人只占全部人口的5%左右。
