While 我一点儿回看中文 I hope you appreciate that a poorly referenced Chinese wikipedia article isn't really a contribution to this conversation.

- j-kidd 14y agoThe article is about how little study has been done about sleep: > One of the biggest problems I’ve discovered is that sleep is such an over talked topic. We get the general idea that we know all about it: how much we need of it, how it impacts us and why this or that happens when we sleep. Once I took a step back to really think about where our knowledge about sleep comes from, I realized that nearly all of it is based on hear-say or what my mom told me when I was in elementary school. I was merely quoting some well-known wisdom (among Chinese) (but not well-followed) from an old book [1] written based on actual clinical experiences. And it also happens to support fakeer's suggestion. If that's not up to some scientific standards, at least it is one step above "hear-say" and "what my mom told me", don't you think? This is such a complicated subject, and I doubt there has been any concrete study that can conclusively prove anything. For me, the point of the article is to provoke exactly this kind of discussion. [1] That's what the wikipedia article is about.
