Unless you illustrate the problem you wish to solve, the solution is not going to make sense.

That doesn't surprise me. Yes, would be interesting to see those assumptions, but I guess the issue (as in most modelling of complex systems) is that as you relax the assumptions, the models become intractable.

I opened this article hoping it would mention the point about the rules concerning reduced sulfur content of the fuel used in super tanker marine shipping, and it didn't disappoint: "A lot of people have looked at the impact of th

It's probably true that not a lot of people make constructive use of their sleep data, but people just love learning about themselves: it's kind of a form of narcissism, unless you are experimenting with methods to shift the numbe

Sometimes I like to think of GDP as a measure of economic (productive) power more than well-being. But other indicators are more important for the long-term, such as those on demographics, education, debt levels, etc. You probably don'

Key extract: On average, sleep/wake classification accuracies were reported to be 87.2% based on 53 assessed devices. There was no significant difference in accuracies between devices using only accelerometer data (86.7%, d = 28) and d

I was wondering who this would apply to, and found this from another source: "The directive covers 'essential entities' and 'important entities'. Essential organisations will generally have a minimum of 250 employee

Very interesting -- I often move my legs when seated and this annoys people haha Curious to try this out now -- have never tested L-tyrosine before. I wonder what other effects it could have.

Quite good support for the caffeine/theanine interaction in the literature -- I was mainly trying to see if it could improve sleep which is why I didn't take it with caffeine. Would be interesting to do some blinded cognitive test

This is a good and fair question (although noting that the doses in the second study seem extremely large compared to supplement values). I think the solution is to test, test, and test on as many things as possible which is not being done

Good to hear they seem to be working out for you. I tried L-tryptophan a few years ago but discontinued rather quickly as I thought my sleep quality was going down (I think I was waking up during dreams more often). I guess 5-HTP would have

Very interesting: maybe it could have been something else in the sodas? Alternatively, the quality of the amazon supplement might not have been great (unless you tried from multiple sources)

Indeed, one of the studies cited supports this view.

Yes, you are very right: this is something I will definitely add eventually.

My view on this is if you don't find any effect or a tiny effect (the case here) that is already useful information. For most supplements, my bet is that you won't even benefit from a placebo effect. And if you do find an effect,

That has a lot more L-theanine, but even then seems very variable so could be the same or way off. For example, in one study "the final dose of 1 gram of Matcha green tea was taken on the testing day and contained only 12.4 mg of L- th

They're not as accurate as polysomnography but there is some correlation which should allow these measurements to serve as a useful proxy over 100-180 days. See this review for example: "The findings of this systematic literature

Indeed, but you would really need to drink a lot of green tea to get the same amount of L-theanine you would in a supplement: "2.5 litres of brewed green tea would be needed to get 200mg of L-theanine". Also a question of how much
