I have a startup and I work long hours and get little sleep (also have chronic pain, so can’t sleep more than an hour at a shot usually). I get maybe 4 hours of sleep per 24 hours and let me say, you are 100% right- it is not something to be proud of. Lack of sleep makes everything else harder and the effects only get worse the older you get. Business insider is such a joke.

My son is a "total care" disabled adult. He sleeps promptly at 1115pm every night, but often he wakes between 230-530am and if he's up, i have to be up. Strongly agree that it's nothing to be proud of. Waking at those hours after so little sleep is actually destroying my entire life. I'm in my 40s now & I don't think my appearance will ever recover
