What is the logic that is holding your reasoning together? A lot of "hustling" culture actually ephasizes good habits including hardcore sleep scheduling, good nutrition and excercise?
And a lot of it doesn't.

All cause mortality is absurdly higher if you use drugs to sleep, including OTC stuff[0]. So, probably not. Almost certainly same story with other "meds" that dipshits pop like popcorn[1].

"Dipshits" is an incredibly rude way to describe people who are most likely just ignorant.
I realize there is a large contingent of HN numskulls who just luuurb to chime in with a list of their "meds," for conditions imaginary and otherwise, whose idea of activity is playing video games while subsisting on a diet of microwave pizza rolls. Such people probably got that way in the first place by being coddled, rather than encouraged to not commit slow suicide by remaining inert lumps of dung who think their Jetsons fruit salad is doing them any good. Maybe being confronted with harsh language will save a few of them. Either way, it won't hurt them. But hey, that's just, like, my opinion man.

> All cause mortality is absurdly higher if you use drugs to sleep, including OTC stuff[0]. [0] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4883191/ Your reference only studied people who took Z-drugs, benzodiazepines, or no medications, and says nothing about OTC sleep medications. There are no OTC Z-drugs or benzos on the market. The paper also notes that only chronic use of Z-drugs and benzos were associated with…
I'm currently reading the book, "Why We Sleep (Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams)" right now and I'm stunned by all the new things we ignored when it comes to sleep. There are so many fascinating aspects of our life and body, all governed by Sleep. I highly suggest reading the book to explore more about your sleep.
It's not a good book and was basically just used to get Matt Walker on daytime talk shows. It doesn't even attempt to answer the question in its title, and it has many cherry picked studies that don't actually prove what he's implying they do.

I wasn't diagnosed with this but I had the symptoms and the consequences you mentioned. It took a long time to fix. Here's some things I tried. Some may have helped or none may have helped. * I bought blackout blinds and use a sleeping mask (sometimes earplugs) * I bought a bright light ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07FFJYMVS ) and a smart plug. 15 mins before I wanted to wake up I would have a timer turn on…

Have you tried melatonin? I had something similar to this and taking melatonin 1h before my desired bedtime has changed my life.

I think people who stick heaps of fruit salad pills into their gob because "muh science" are, in fact, dipshits. Darwin award winning dipshits. Plenty of "merely ignorant" people have the common sense required to refrain from shoving grams of factory produced mystery chemicals down their throats because some marketer convinced them it might be a good idea. I realize there is a large contingent of HN numskulls who jus…
First thing I thought of was Ray Kurzweil.
You should take these findings with a big grain of salt. Remember we don't yet even have a causal model of Alzheimer's and dementia. Amyloid plaques are strongly associated with Alzheimer's but it's not clear if they're the actual cause or if they're just a residual indicator that something else has already gone wrong in the brain. As a counterpoint to the amyloid hypothesis, we also see amyloid build ups in patients…
>big grain of salt Isn’t the point of the “grain of Salt” to indicate that it is trivial? If so, then by saying “big grain of salt” aren’t you undermining the point of the original statement? I see this regularly and wonder if I am missing something.
Vaccine contains microchips? Yeah you're going to want to take that with a major grain (pinch in the UK!) of salt / be highly sceptical about it.
What does this mean for people with severe Delayed Phase Sleep Syndrome (DSPS)? I do not feel the need for sleep until usually about 2am, and I find it exceedingly difficult to wake up before 10am. And yes, it's made it extremely difficult to live a "normal" life like your typical person who can wake up at 7am without issue. It's been a problem with relationships, poor performance in school, issues in promotions and…
If you're intent on shifting your circadian rhythm backwards, you'd have to get up earlier in the morning at a consistent time and try to eschew what might delay your onset, i.e. blue light emitting electronics, before bed. You can use a blue light filter like flux for that in the evening to help. more on that here - https://insomniasos.net/

You're probably right, but it's annoying we need to apply this perfect regime just to fall asleep. Why can't we just be tired in the evening? I have friends who would fall asleep on the couch while watching a movie if it went past 11pm. Meanwhile I have to do some bullshit ww2 pilot exercise just to fall asleep at 1am.
Think of it this way: there's nothing special about a time zone, and yet we know that if we moved several time zones away, we'd shift. The differences are in light patterns, timing of work and social life, food intake, etc. Incidentally, many of these factors are within our control.
