There's no connection between Walker and the post you linked. It's not clear why you believe it was written by Walker.

Walker said this in [1] and I believe that this position is indefensible At the time at the time of the book’s publication in 2017 (and today), CDC had no documents and no pages on its site that would declare a sleep loss epidemic. As I not

There's no evidence that this was written by the author of Why We Sleep. This blog never links to Walker or to his social media or email, was never linked by Walker, and is not connected to Walker in any way other than using a "sl

Got it. I apologize if my tone was too harsh. I do stand by all of the bold-font headings, but yes, primarily the post is directed at Walker. My current stance on sleep is that we don't know much about it and we don't know much ab

Hi, I'm the author of that critique. >Point 1: the chart bottoms out at 7, which falls within the range the book recommends. I'm fairly sure he recommends 7-9, and that the required amt varies from person to person. Another tho

You cannot use this as an example of a natural experiment. Natural experiment features external variation. In contrast, the amount of liberalization of the economy likely had a lot to do with the country's history, e.g. Ukraine's

You can start with checking my Section 4 of the essay.

"worsening someone's health" refers to not getting therapy you need, based on Walker's misrepresentation. I believe this is exactly what I wrote in the comment you were responding to.

This is actually hilarious because the sleep essay (this submission) was starting to take off, was clearly going to hit the front page, and then it got flagged! By the time it got unflagged by the moderators, it disappeared from the "n

I didn't look into this in particular but my impression from reading the literature is that this makes zero sense.

I'm not sure if this is relevant. The point about Brewer's yeast is literally in the last appendix, here: https://guzey.com/books/why-we-sleep/#appendix I do agree that this is a minor point and included

Do you think most people know that Brewer's yeast is alive?

Thanks! Yes, your quote is another good example of the book's level of argumentation. Not going to include this because I get too many "nitpicking" charges against me already :)

The criticisms should matter to you! Why do you believe that his representation of research on REM/NREM, light and deep NREM sleep is scientifically accurate? Why do you believe his representation of effects of coffein and sleep medica
