My hope is that those of us in and around the rationality community who care about this question enough to spend more than a few hours investigating it carefully (Guzey, you, me, and certainly others) can, over time, enter into a sustained dialog about what the research tells us and how to frame the research questions we care about. I think it would be interesting to put together some kind of shared doc where we could dig into this a bit. Please let me know if that would be of interest at some point in the future. I’m a busy graduate student in biomedical engineering; what I lack in time I hopefully will make up for in some relevant knowledge (and direct experience with lack of sleep!).
I am interested in this, so feel free to contact me if you want to start this.
I am also interested, especially in “what tools can help people develop data for themselves, that can be aggregated in useful ways?”
One way I think sleep science and most everything else goes wrong is in looking for the modal human answer, ignoring how the right amount of sleep/nutrient X/exercise/etc vary between humans and for the same human over time.

Excellent. Will do. I’m also reaching out to Guzey. Maybe we can get a bit of a community effort going!
