Although many brain regions have been shown to participate in sleep–wake regulation using model organisms, we sought to identify a region relevant to human sleep duration regulation. We started from a human sleep duration gene (ADRB1) and then used an unbiased approach to identify the peri-tegmental reticular nucleus (pTRNADRB1) as a region participating in sleep–wake regulation. We found that pTRNADRB1 neurons are wake-active and are potent promoters of wakefulness, with their activation promoting wakefulness well after the end of stimulation. Further, combinatorial genetics revealed that excitatory pTRNADRB1 neurons are primarily responsible for this phenotype and that they act in part through projections to the lateral hypothalamus. Thus, the pTRN plays an important role in sleep–wake regulation. Sleep is a necessity for our survival, but its regulation remains incompletely understood. Here, we used a human sleep duration gene to identify a population of cells in the peri-tegmental reticular nucleus (pTRNADRB1) that regulate sleep–wake, uncovering a role for a poorly understood brain area. Although initial ablation in mice led to increased wakefulness, further validation revealed that pTRNADRB1 neuron stimulation strongly promotes wakefulness, even after stimulation offset. Using combinatorial genetics, we found that excitatory pTRNADRB1 neurons promote wakefulness. pTRN neurons can be characterized as anterior- or posterior-projecting neurons based on multiplexed analysis of projections by sequencing (MAPseq) analysis. Finally, we found that pTRNADRB1 neurons promote wakefulness, in part, through projections to the lateral hypothalamus. Thus, human genetic information from a human sleep trait allowed us to identify a role for the pTRN in sleep–wake regulation.
