A single night of sleep loss impairs working memory in women, but not men

As I have come to expect in the world of random psych studies, this is the exact opposite of what I thought has been firmly established knowledge in this field and so we probably know less than nothing about the truth and I guess I am just going to discount all of this research (on both sides) as "fake science" now :/.

Both of those studies also had tiny sample sizes, so sure enough we know nothing. But instead of discounting potentially valid research, just look at it critically. You won't always be able to tell but all of these are so bad as to be obvious.

Also, despite this they still didn't manage to prove anything. Their own data shows that ALL objective scores - sleep deprived, men, women, etc. are within one standard deviation of each other.

This is so obviously bad that I am tempted to engage in conspiratorial thinking about why it was posted here.

Bullshit.

I am disappointed to see this crap all over the news. It seems people are hungry for evidence that progressive orthodoxy is flawed - no matter how extraordinary the claim. As if men were magically immune to sleep loss!

You are exaggerating the claims of the study. Nowhere does it says or suggests that men are magically immune to sleep loss.

The title of this submission seems to imply it heavily.
