There’s this ridiculous notion out there built on conceit, mixed with one part ambition and two parts testosterone: "I'll sleep when I'm dead."

Unrealistic, to say the least, this mindset may stem from good intentions, but it lacks intelligence when it comes to stress and the human body.

You see, too much work and a lack of recovery are actually disastrous for one's personal well-being. While it may look tough on paper or sound self-assuring out loud, the motivational message is lost... like that of a dream in the fog of sleep deprivation. Cloaked as aspiration is just stupidity and probable burnout.

No rest for the weary? No hope in the long-run.
