On a serious note, I just had a thought: if this study is to be treated as true (instead of the piled-high cow manure that most studies are), then it is a big indictment of women in combat. As a former grunt, I can tell you that a good night's sleep is something you wave bye-bye to the moment you jump off the cattle car to the reception station at Basic. Combat is worse. And you still have to do some really technical stuff even when you haven't slept in 24 hours.

So, here is a "scientific" study that argues against women in combat. Think it will survive long if that point is made?

During WWII, when women worked in the factories, they were on par, for errors and injuries, with the men when the workday was 8 hours/day. However, when those days were increased to 12 hours/day, the women’s rates increased many times over, whereas the men were not affected.

the grumpiness may pay off if the enemy doesn’t let the woman get her sleep. I wonder if they tested new moms.
