'I'll sleep when I'm dead': The sleep-deprived masculinity stereotype

I don’t know about most of you here, but the people who say “SWYD” to me are women. I always thought it was a feminine thing.

I say it more as an alternative to YOLO. Ex. a friend is in town for one night, and I've got a 7am meeting the next day, I say "eh, I'll sleep when I'm dead".

Because 50 years from now no one is going to say, " man, remember that time I got adequate sleep before my meeting?" But I could very well say, "man, remember that time you visited and we had a blast?"

I think it's gender neutral. All sexes are fallible to get caught up in the 24/7 "crushing it" "work hard, play hard" hype!

Just a little h/t to Warren Zevon, RIP. Enjoy every sandwich. https://youtu.be/SO1QUy-HTHQ

The question is, how does sleeping less than 7 hours a day impact you health/cognitive abilities?

Also does catching up on sleep from time-to-time help?
