In addition to the no-pain mutation, there’s a genetic variant that could let an air traffic controller—or a soldier—get by on four or five hours of sleep per day.
About 1% of the population thrive on four hours of sleep a night. It is a tremendous advantage.
It is certainly not a "disorder".

When I offer up my daily prayers among that list is that I am grateful for the pain I am able to feel because of this particular issue.
I learned about it years ago and have been grateful for *not* being pain free.
Some days, I do whine. I whine, with a bit of gratitude, however!

It seems to be linked to good health and longevity.

In 2017 Vladimir Putin told students at a youth festival in Sochi that genetic engineering could create soldiers who feel no pain or fear, which could be “scarier than a nuclear bomb.” In addition to the no-pain mutation, there’s a genetic variant that could let an air traffic controller—or a soldier—get by on four or five hours of sleep per day. As gene-therapy techniques advance and become less expensive, it might be feasible to routinely enhance people with similar genetic changes.The future looks very scary.

“There are some downsides to fooling with pain. People with the no-pain DNA mutation have a limited sense of smell, and without pain, they don’t know when they are injured. A number of members of the Pakistani family were limping from broken limbs. Others had lost parts of their tongues—they’d bitten them off.”

In 2017 Vladimir Putin told students at a youth festival in Sochi that genetic engineering could create soldiers who feel no pain or fear, which could be “scarier than a nuclear bomb.” No pain and no fear add up to a short life expectancy. They would not know when to stop to preserve their own lives.

No problem with that here, that’s what I get.
However, I also fall asleep in front of my monitor next afternoon.
