Based on a podcast episode I've overheard.

I know, for an example, this is not told authentically.
When you hire a professional, you're meant to get the job done like a plumber. We don't want to then go off on this and that, to be of service with practical empathy, emotional labor for their client. Seth is right to say that authenticity is overrated. A double-edged sword according to Adam Grant.
This self-help guru advice, with the amateur/hack well of possibility, given within the internet. Offering control, selling control.
Yet making you lose control with an irresponsible sleep schedule that is physically impossible to follow, otherwise they'd face Kuroshi.
Safely ignore them.
Low/no sleep as Syllabus for success is one of the annoying things of the Internet. I heard it in illustration, and in other walks of life. It's just not true.

Anyway, don't try to cheat sleep and exhaust oneself, here are some sleeping recommendations.
