We tried to stay at a close age-range.
One of our biggest lurking variables is the potential one or more persons has a sleeping disorder (such as Insomnia or Sleep Apnea). Other lurking variables could be age, gender, their original/past sleeping schedules, and their job/work.]]> 2019-04-11 16:10:31 UTC https://padlet.com/aiben500/noit7v1oa91g/wish/350847011 aiben500 https://padlet.com/aiben500/noit7v1oa91g/wish/350847614 This isn’t a Blind nor a Double Blind experiment at all.
