The lack of two related genes in autistic children has been discovered to be a cause for abnormal sleep in human genetics. Apparently, this genes termed as Fragile X, pose as a sleep issue for autistic children or from people who suffer from the Fragile X syndrome.
The findings were reported from the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
“This has never been seen in a mouse before,” lead researcher Dr. David Nelson, a professor of molecular and human genetics, said in a prepared statement.
The findings, published in the current issue of The American Journal of Human Genetics, are important, because children with autism or fragile X syndrome tend to have problems getting to sleep and staying asleep. Fragile X is the most common known cause of autism.

Recharge Midday with a Siesta
0 Comments Published by Brian Yalung June 26th, 2008 in Health Issues, How to sleep better, SLEEP News, Sleep Business, Sleep Issues.
For people who find themselves on the go at times, it would be best to consider a siesta or a short nap before proceeding with your daily chores. Many would not have this privilege especially if they are in an office. However they can try to steal a couple of winks when they are on lunch break. Remember that breaks are given normally up to an hour and for people taking meals, sometimes you can finish eating way beyond the final seconds of your break time.
People need to recharge midway at times. Short as it may you may be surprised at the difference that short stolen naps can provide especially in terms of productivity.
The siesta has been around for thousands of years and was even regarded as a necessity, rather than a luxury. It is still widely practiced in Spain today, though they also use it to get out of the sun during the hottest part of the day and can therefore take as long as two hours to rest.
