Ah yes, this is very german.
If it is not a grind, it is not really work you are doing.
And it is still kind of a honor badge to moan about how little you sleep, as this shows how hard you are working all day and the ones sleeping the most less, are the hardest.
(But I do see some healthy change in that regard)
Good god, this is beautiful. Is this a German idiom?
"Morgenstund hat gold im Mund"
morning time is gold
(to which I agree at times)
or
"Der frühe Vogel fängt den Wurm"
The early bird catches the worm.
(to where I say, maybe the worm should have slept in that day)
"Sleeping the most less" is a beautiful turn of phrase, even if ungrammatical. Or maybe because of it.
