Did you read the paragraph about women? It says there was too much noise in data, they could not measure positive effect of sleep! What conclusions medical professional would derive from that?

Secondly I really do not like the overall tone of the article.

More research. Which is exactly what they plead for in their paper.

That's how science works. They tried to reduce uncertainty, they couldn't, now they have to try something else.

This is a constant problem in studying the effects of medicine. For years we've simply ignored women's bodies (default man) in many studies but we're increasingly seeing reasons why that's not such a good idea.

Really recommend the book Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez to anyone interested in this and the problems that stem from it for women.
