Hey NJC! Thanks for sharing this and I always appreciate different opinions. This guzey piece is insightful & making me question the sleep data of Walker's research. I'll look into it in more details. Seems like Walker responded to some of the concerns here: https://sleepdiplomat.wordpress.com/2019/12/19/why-we-sleep-responses-to-questio…
But, I think the optimization tips for improving sleep still hold. Granted, some of them may not work for some people, and by no means are they absolute truths, but I think a lot of them can be helpful for people looking to improve sleep whether they sleep for 5-6 hours or more. Which is why I tried to focus this point on tips for improving sleep. What do you think?
But it seems like when comes to sleep and longevity data, we need better info. I might edit my post on the sleep duration point based on this info.

I agree that manipulation of data and hyping up certain practices by scientists is becoming something to watch out for. Example: NAD+ precursors have become a hype too and the more I learn about it through my podcast and other data, the more I question media hype. Discussed the NAD+ hype here if you're interested: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/01-how-to-fight-aging-nad-boosters-senolytics-curing/id1588806541?i=1000538366024
Anyway, thanks again for sharing this, I appreciate it!
