I like staying up late. Even on weekdays, I'm usually up until 1 AM or so. On weekends in college, I recall often seeing the sun come up during the summer.

I thought that was fun, but never thought of it as cool. And while I like staying up late, I really don't like being sleep-deprived.

I really despise the culture wherein sleep deprivation is a badge of honor. And I hate the implicit pressure I feel when I am working with people who wear it as such. It's hard to cite studies showing decreased overall performance when you're confronted with, "I've only gotten 15 hours of sleep all week since I've been working so hard!"

I don't know what to do about it though.
