Research papers are written to be read by other researchers, not laypeople. If you have no scientific background and want to read up on a topic that you are not familiar with, you'll have to find other sources of information.

Sure, by "other researchers" you mean other people who learned jargon terminology.

And why would someone need to have a scientific background to read about sleep regularity and how it affects mortality?
