The experimental procedures he went through gave little additional support for his argument than simply stating:
"I noticed I sleep better when I stand on one leg for a while".
The statistical analysis of the study does not provide any additional weight to the statement. In fact, the statistical analysis is more of a distraction because he didn't control for an important influence in self-evaluating health. If a person expects that taking an action will improve their health, it's very likely that the person will think he feels better after taking that action.

(Yes, they are much worse than you imagine). And while this document cannot reflect this, I've been following Seth Roberts for a few years now -- he is the best kind of scientist, with a remarkable talent for objective measurement of oneself. While this cannot be generalized to other people easily, as far as it refers to himself, it's probably way better than most medical results published in the last 20 years.
