From the comments here, it seems few people read the article. This one is worth it; informative and well well written.

I read the article and thought it was generally vapid.

People sleep in different ways. Here are some pictures of things related to sleep. Sleep is poorly studied we should study it more.

The thermoregulation and serotonin studies were helpful.

I don’t read a lot of articles because I can get an informative gist of an article quickly through reading comments. But I also rarely vote articles up or comments up for this reason

Most people don't read the article. They don't even finish reading the title and are already typing "Heeeey, I don't".

... are already typing "First post!" (oops, I'm in the wrong place).

I'm not reading it because I don't sleep under a blanket on the hottest nights - can't relate.

I provide an explanation for why I'm not reading it, and you vote me down. Remarkable.

It's very healthy to read things we don't relate to. This is sometimes referred to as "learning".

You're going to learn from something based on a false premise?

"I read the article and thought it was generally vapid." -- somewhere above. Learning. Feels like I'm on Limitless.

Since you are new to HN, you may not know this, but it is considered poor form to complain about being downvoted. And more often than not, it invites even more downvotes as a result.

From the HN Guidelines (which I recommend reading):

> Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

If it bothers you this much, you're better off deleting your comment.
