I find the conclusion of the article that focus on sleep is a short lived fad is wrong. People have been trying to hack sleep for a long time, unsuccessfully. I hope one day we can, but I doubt it. At best you can trick your body into reaching your REM cycle faster via activities like meditation. Personally, plenty of sleep is my secret weapon along with exercise. As the world is trying to hack sleep and cut corners, I find resting and taking care of my body makes me much more effective than the sleepless zombies around me.
