- rapfaria 9y agoMost people don't read the article. They don't even finish reading the title and are already typing "Heeeey, I don't".
- smoyer 9y ago... are already typing "First post!" (oops, I'm in the wrong place).

- MaxwellM 9y agoI read the article and thought it was generally vapid. People sleep in different ways. Here are some pictures of things related to sleep. Sleep is poorly studied we should study it more. The thermoregulation and serotonin studies were helpful.
- samstave 9y agoI don’t read a lot of articles because I can get an informative gist of an article quickly through reading comments. But I also rarely vote articles up or comments up for this reason
- nutherforgot 9y agoI'm not reading it because I don't sleep under a blanket on the hottest nights - can't relate.
- nutherforgot 9y agoI provide an explanation for why I'm not reading it, and you vote me down. Remarkable.
- avip 9y agoIt's very healthy to read things we don't relate to. This is sometimes referred to as "learning".
- nutherforgot 9y agoYou're going to learn from something based on a false premise?
- nutherforgot 9y ago"I read the article and thought it was generally vapid." -- somewhere above. Learning. Feels like I'm on Limitless.
- Momquist 9y agoSince you are new to HN, you may not know this, but it is considered poor form to complain about being downvoted. And more often than not, it invites even more downvotes as a result. From the HN Guidelines (which I recommend reading): > Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html If it bothers you this much, you're better off deleting your comment.
- nutherforgot 9y agoI'm not new, I've had countless accounts over the years, about a decade longer than you, with complete disinterest in being gamified, a different account on each browser on each device. You get excited about karma if you like. The complaint wasn't about being downvoted, it was about the people who do it with a complete lack of rationality, or consistency if you look at the other comments. Some threads attract intelligent people, some threads... bless. I've always considered HN downvoting to be broken, and will complain about it as much as I like. Guidelines are for children and idiots; I've lived long enough to know how to behave without some valley kid's views. Delete it for what? Flag it if you want - I've seen far more stupid flags than that.
