American scientists from Rockefeller’s University have found the gene "insomniac”. It is responsible for the duration of sleep. The mutation in this gene results in the drastic reduction of sleep. "Insomniac” can influence us through homeostatic mechanisms. This gene oppresses specific albumens in our brain’s cells that influence the drowse. The scientists believe, the exploration of this gene can help to find a way to restore sleep need.
Well, insomnia is generally believed to be a problem which makes people hit the ceiling, so no wonder that I got very surprised after reading an unusual tip: if you can't fall asleep, don't torture yourself and cease any attempts to try! You'd better use this spare time to do something pleasant, for instance, paint or read)
