My position on sleeping, revised

Doctor google gets piledrivered by Mr Depends. Rag dolled splendifoursly with the showmanship of having to be peer-reviewed with tier's of evidence.

I must hold myself accountable as I grow within the influencer area. I'm obviously taking the himbo industrial complex route; Of handsome men doing stuff generously for attention, permission and reputation.

Yet I also need to be a hunk that thinks, Omar called Helms that. I must transcend what Markiplier and the other streamers have become, and become smart with corrections to previous posts. Posts that I've once been proud must be revised, rather than simply showing a pub-med article.

This is all encouraged by a podcast episode I listened to regarding the panic-wellness influencer in regard to the "sleep loss epidemic", it's simply not true.

From Jade Wu, and this physiologist's recommendations from this umbrella review.

"The panel agreed that, for healthy individuals with normal sleep, the appropriate sleep duration for newborns is between 14 and 17 hours, infants between 12 and 15 hours, toddlers between 11 and 14 hours, preschoolers between 10 and 13 hours, and school-aged children between 9 and 11 hours. For teenagers, 8 to 10 hours was considered appropriate, 7 to 9 hours for young adults and adults, and 7 to 8 hours of sleep for older adults."

It's a range! Well, If you look at that. Not the boilerplate recommendation of eight hours.
