Other Thoughts:
There is a rule in science that says that measuring something changes the thing you are measuring. For instance, if you try to measure the temperatuer of a cup of water, inserting the thermometer alters the temperature of the water slightly.
This is especially true for your brain and any social sciences. When you try to measure the effect of sleep, you alter the measured result.
For instance, if you reduce someone’s sleep to determine the impact on memory, you have triggered several other associated events. You change their stress level, their feeling of vulnerabily and loss of control, you change their circadian rhythm and so on. You can never truely tease out the cause and effect when it comes to sleep.
