I don't think my point is clear so let me restate it. 75% is a majority of people. 75% of people aren't deficient in some way, as far as I know, staying up all night as teens and living a life didn't make them maladjusted or deprived in some sense. Moreover, I don't know or feel like there is evidence that high performers in society sleep more than anyone else. The whole "sleep more" mantra feels like the "eat less fat" mantra of the 90s which turned out to be not only false but detrimental to public health as fat became replaced by sugar.

Just because you can't see if people are drastically affected in ways you perceive; especially years after the fact, doesn't mean it's not affecting people. It's just as possible the "high performers who don't sleep" are the least healthy people in society, and our society rewards unhealthy habits...oh wait...

Just because a decision doesn't completely destroy the life of everyone affected does not make it a good decision.

Percent of adults aged 20 and over with overweight, including obesity: 71.6% (2015-2016) Source: CDC FastStats. So, if a supermajority is overweight, is it actually just normal, and we shouldn't be concerned?
