I love his book "Why we sleep" and I think most people today should read it.

People take pride in sleeping less than they should which is pretty fucked up in my opinion.

DHH also have a lot to say about it:

Not a pride, but a necessity to compete in this society if you want to do interesting work and if you messed up earlier in life.

not even messed up,some just don't have the same means of entry or the opportunity

Yeah exactly...and taking time away from sleep is the only way because it's the only big chunk of time available.

I disagree. A well-rested mind is almost categorically different than a 5-hour-a-night mind. It doesn't matter how hard you work if you're unable to have the insight that the thing you're working on doesn't matter or you need to make some other strategic change.
