I feel obliged to point out that "Why We Sleep" has been discredited: https://guzey.com/books/why-we-sleep/ https://guzey.com/books/why-we-sleep/

  I always see his site mentioned. I am not convinced about this criticism. The author is not an expert on sleep or a neuroscientist. The most you can say is that Walker has not responded to this criticism.

  Oh, thanks for the link. That book is/was on my reading list.

  Well, I've skimmed through your link and he makes some legit counterpoints. The teenager different sleep schedule is not addressed by the link so maybe true at some degree, but still, when there are so many errors one became skeptical. (This assuming this errors are true and they disprove many of Matthew Walker points, I have not looked at the article deeply as I said) I am going to read it more carefully when I have more time. (Jeez, it's really hard to believe something nowdays)
