So the interesting question here would be (and I'm not a biologist so may have misunderstood parts of the study), does increasing the amount of anti-oxidants you consume reduce the need for sleep and/or improve wakefulness?
- GuB-42 6y agoIt looks like anti-oxidants can prevent you from dying in case you don't sleep at all. It doesn't tell much about the long term effects of low levels of sleep deprivation.
- seesawtron 6y agoOne should always be cautious to not assume that studies conducted in lab animals translate to humans by default. The media is quick to do that but we can be better than that.
- seesawtron 6y agoIn this study they showed that exposure to anti-oxidants restores sleep and normal lifespan. But be cautious that is only in comparison to sleep-deprived animals. There is no claim that lifespan went beyond "normal".
