No, unless you live to work, you should demand your right to a balanced life without having to point to scientific literature on the benefits of sleep.

Even if it wasn't stolen sleep (say we needed no sleep, and the day had only 16 hours), constantly overworking would still be lost time (with family and friends and me-time) that you would never recover.



We work to live. It’s not our employer’s fault we are broken people.


It is when its imposed upon people. It's not like everybody self-elects to "work to live". Especially when they're just a cog doing a BS job just to pay the rent and feed their family, not full-filling their entrepreneurial or creative or other dreams through it...

(And the culture and glorification around working to live has a lot of employer influence in it).


I hope nobody self-elects work to live. It is miserable!
