changes in sleep homeostasis in the mutant mice provide a testable hypothesis for future work examining why human subjects with the mutation lead such active lives despite their persistently shorter sleep. We performed EEG and EMG on Dec2 KO mice and their WT littermates. Baseline wake-fulness, NREM, and REM percentages showed that Dec2 KO mice sleep slightly more than the WT mice and that the difference is mostly in the dark period (table S4 and fig. S2). During the light period, only the NREM sleep of Dec2 KO mice was more abundant than that of WT mice and only slightly so. NREM rebound after sleep deprivation for Dec2 KO mice was much slower, which implied that Dec2 is an important factor regulating sleep recovery. We next set out to test whether mDec2P385R can cause a similar rest-sleep phenotype in Dro-sophila. The closest homologous protein to DEC2 in Drosophila [CG17100, clockwork orange (16, 17)] shares <18% amino acid sequence similarity , <11% identity, and P385 is not conserved. We therefore generated transgenic flies with expression-inducible UAS-mDec2WT and UAS-mDec2P385R on the w1118 background. When these flies were crossed with elav-GAL4, driving pan-neuronal overexpression (18), mDec2P385R flies showed significantly lower daytime sleep-like behavior with reduced rest bout number and lengthened rest bout durations compared with WT flies (Fig. 4A). Because mushroom bodies were shown to be the likely sleep-rest behavior center in Drosophila (19), we also overexpressed P385R and WT mDec2 under the control of a mushroom body 30Y-GAL4 driver (20). It was noteworthy that mDec2P385R transgenic flies driven by the 30Y-GAL4 showed significantly less sleeplike behavior with significantly shorter sleep bout duration in both light and dark phases than mDec2WT flies (Fig. 4B). However, rest or sleep bout number was significantly higher only in the dark phase for mDec2P385R trans-genic flies. These results indicate that the behavior of flies with mushroom body driver expression of mDec2P385R echoed those of the DEC2-P385R transgenic mice (Fig. 2, B, C, and E, and Fig. 4B). The power of human genetics in studying human behavioral traits was demonstrated in the identification of mutations and the subsequent molecular characterization of FASPS (21–23). As currently understood, FASPS is primarily a circadian rhythm variant leading to altered phase; total daily sleep time is normal (21, 23, 24). We have applied a similar approach and identified a gene involved in regulation of sleep quantity. This provides a unique opportunity for …
