I'm not arguing you should not have included (1), (2), and (5), I'm arguing you should not have included (3) and (4) because they do not support the point of the passage.

No, you are. You specifically wrote that I "equate" (3) and (4) to my conclusion. You wrote:

>probably also wouldn't equate "a person with an ADRB1 mutation can sleep less" and "a single individual that underwent brain surgery can sleep less" with "Decreasing sleep by 1-2 hours a night in the long-term has no negative health effects".

Yes, I am well aware of what I wrote. Let me clarify.

Your section is titled:

"Decreasing sleep by 1-2 hours a night in the long-term has no negative health effects".

You make two points below to support that claim:

- "A single-point mutation can decrease the amount of required sleep by 2 hours, with no negative side-effects."

- "A brain surgery can decrease the amount of sleep required by 3 hours, with no negative-side effects."

Those points do not support your claim, and I am pointing that out. I have no issue with the other 3 points, nor did I say anything about them.
