> I wish we could have some more science done on this stuff (specifically relating to tech). I have a huge amount of experience-based evidence pointing toward the factuality of this article, but anecdotes and personal experience are not how you sway decision makers. During my neurosurgery postdoc (I'm a BME with a focus in neuroscience), I helped develop a portable EEG system, with part of the focus on identifying EEG biomarkers of sleep deprivation and its effects on attention, response time, etc (i.e. changes in brain patterns related to sleep, or lack thereof). One of our first targeted populations were doctors and residents at the hospital I worked at. The administration and department chairs absolutely BALKED at the idea. If we were going to show what working 36 hour shifts did to a resident's brain by the end of the shift, and the very detrimental effect on decision making, etc., they wanted no part of it, and the project kind of fell apart.
