I'm sure they control for that. I doubt the people doing the study are unaware of the most basic cognitive biases.
Seriously? People who sleep less might be at risk of all sorts of health problems, but not necessarily because they sleep less - people generally sleep less because they're doing [strenuous or destructive activity]. And it's much more likely that partying / working late into the night causes health problems, rather than solely the lack of sleep.
Correlation ≠ causation
