>Energy and persistence could basically be the same thing This in particular I think are very different things. You can start a lot of things and be always doing something yet give up as soon as any difficulties appear. This is high ener

I think the points you make are reasonable and it comes down to our feeling of how much exactly of overlap there is + what percentile exactly are we talking about here (what if to build SpaceX + Tesla one needed to be in 99.9% percentile of

I did not look into his claims about road accidents but given that Walker misrepresents and so much of the research (and sometimes falsifies it) on sleep, I would not be willing to believe such claim simply based on him saying this in the b

I asked: >Can you link to some pre-registered studies of impact of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance? None of the studies you linked are pre-registered.

I remember your arguments and they were bad. Here as well you claim the causal relationship between sleep and longevity while we have 0 good studies demonstrating it. Those interested can look at our Why We Sleep discussion here: https:&#x

If I had the opportunity, I would not only downvote you a 1000 times, I would outright ban you from Hacker News. Your comments are uncharitable, careless, and abrasive. >you over-analyze a situation that is relatively obvious, with a sam

I'm the author of this study. >It's the brogrammer equivalent of fake news: 22-yo kid "makes science" with a sample of 1, some videogames, and a few charts. >You are 22 year old. Your body is at peak condition, bui

PVT is a standard in psychology task used to assess sleepiness - no relation to video games Note that the "getting lost in thought" happened when I slept 8 hours not 4. I think it just came to me taking hours upon hours of very

I spent the majority of my time coding (learning a lot of JS) and learning biology during the experiment.

Yes, I believe that you should take this factor into account while reading my experiment. As I write: >Lack of effect on cognitive ability is surprising and may reflect true lack of cognitive impairment, my desire to demonstrate lack of

Sure, I have nothing against getting enough sleep but the book's first 10 pages contain so much misinformation and given that Walker outright falsifies the data in the book ( https://guzey.com/books/why-we-sleep&#x2

Thanks! I didn't notice any effects on mood but I wasn't measuring them either.

Why did you stop?

Exactly -- practice effects should have been averaged out by this.

I don't know about chess but I coded a lot during the experiment (on day 7 I spent 11 hours coding, starting with a big block between 8am and 2pm) and felt great.

I'm not sure why you don't really believe this. I didn't really have to mention this, did I?..

This gotta be my favorite comment in the entire thread. I take three tests: PVT, a video game, SAT -- and I get accused of "just playing video games" and told to perform a broader spectrum of assessments.
