Because of statements like: > people who sleep between 6.5 hr. and 7.5 hr. a night, live the longest, are happier and most productive O RLY? Time for another

Because of statements like:
> people who sleep between 6.5 hr. and 7.5 hr. a night, live the longest, are happier and most productive
O RLY? Time for another basic primer on causation vs. correlation.
- SeanDav 14y agoThat was the result of a study (in other words, science). Where is your proof that the study is invalid? Note that I am not saying that the result is fact, just that there is science to indicate that things are not as simple as they may appear to people that dismiss the whole thing as "pseudo science".
- enraged_camel 14y ago>>That was the result of a study (in other words, science). Where is your proof that the study is invalid? I'm afraid "science" is quite a bit more complicated than you seem to believe. One of its most basic tenets is that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. One study is not enough to prove the assertion that people who sleep for 6.5 to 7.5 hours a night are the happiest.
- vecinu 14y agoThat was a statement that really stuck out. I cannot believe these 'conclusions' from just one study.
- jdonahue 14y agoWhy? What you copy-pasted makes no claim of causation (e.g., it does not say anything like "if you sleep 6.5 to 7.5 hours a night, you will be happier"); you just chose to read it that way.
