> I have been able to find exactly one pre-registered experiment of the impact of prolonged sleep deprivation on cognition. It was published by economists from Harvard and MIT in 2020 and its pre-registered analysis found null effects of sleep on all variables of interest Bessone P, Rao G, Schilbach F, Schofield H, Toma M. The economic consequences of increasing sleep among the urban poor. The Quarterly Journal of Economics. 2021 Aug;136(3):1887-941.(the authors changed analysis post-hoc and fished out some significant effects. Notably, they put the post-hoc results into the abstract but decided not to mention the null-preregistered results there or anywhere else in the paper explicitly ).

This is the highest quality of research from the most fancied universities, and it was pre-registered (the gold standard of oversight). And even they were dishonest with the results. For me, personally, this single paragraph is enough to shut the door on all (all) psychology research.

If it was published by economists, in an economics journal, doesn't that suggest you're condemning the wrong field?
