The sleep-retardant properties of my ex-girlfriend

Since you really need to see the graphs and mathematical symbols, here's a link to the 4 page PDF.

From the introduction:
Quote:
The importance of a good night’s sleep can not be overestimated. Getting more than 7 hours of sleep a night helps in retention and deep encoding of information, which is essential in graduate school.[1] Also, getting sufficient amounts of sleep results in a better mood and a greater level of happiness. [2]

Given this, I decided to conduct a study on those factors which influenced the amount of sleep I was getting, in order to determine how to get more sleep.

One factor which I predicted would have especially large effects was my girlfriend at the time, Hermina. I have induced that several of my acquaintances believe that Hermina would have significant positive effects on sleep – in the words of one such acquaintance, Tom, “Man, she’s hot. I’d really like to sleep with her.”[3] Other acquaintances have also expressed an interest in her sleep-inducing properties. [4][5]
Be sure to read the footnotes.
