the book was appealing because it was something to point to that might convince your boss or friends to let you sleep, rather than acting like wanting to sleep more than 6 hours a night is a sign of weak moral character. many people hold this attitude, it’s appealing to have something “objective” when trying to justify going to sleep. unfortunately it does have these many scientific inaccuracies. depressing.
