According to a newly-released study, those crazy people who regularly rise perkily, happily, and unfathomably early in the morning might just do so due to a genetic mutation. No, really! We’re not making this up, we promise. 
The esteemed publication Science Journal is reporting that the varying amounts of sleep that different people require is most likely linked to a genetic cause, and that rising early and shorter sleep times are correlated with specific genetic mutations:
And now they say they have found the first genetic mutation in humans that appears to affect sleep duration rather than sleep timing. The mutation lies in DEC2, a gene that codes for a protein that helps turn off expression of other genes, including some that control circadian rhythm, the internal clock that regulates a person’s sleep-wake cycle.
We think it’s wonderful that 6:30am yoga classes like Mysore-Style Ashtanga exist for the mutants out there , but for our part, we’re thankful that afternoon and evening classes are offered as well!

I wish i had that genetic mutation! it would make waking for mysore so much easier, although once you get there you perk up Really fast
