I think the
New Scientist article was serious. The original article by Luis F. Marine, André C. Felicio, and Gilmar F. Prado was submitted to the journal
Sleep Medicine on January 2, 2011 and was accepted for publication on January 18. There's also a blog entry on the subject in
Discover dated April 2, 2011.
For the record, the DiscoBlog points out that relief efforts don't have to be a solo endeavor.
