That was the result of a study (in other words, science). Where is your proof that the study is invalid?

Note that I am not saying that the result is fact, just that there is science to indicate that things are not as simple as they may appear to people that dismiss the whole thing as "pseudo science".

>>That was the result of a study (in other words, science). Where is your proof that the study is invalid?

I'm afraid "science" is quite a bit more complicated than you seem to believe.

One of its most basic tenets is that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. One study is not enough to prove the assertion that people who sleep for 6.5 to 7.5 hours a night are the happiest.

Why? What you copy-pasted makes no claim of causation (e.g., it does not say anything like "if you sleep 6.5 to 7.5 hours a night, you will be happier"); you just chose to read it that way.

That was a statement that really stuck out. I cannot believe these 'conclusions' from just one study.
