This article is worse than pseudo science. It is just a bunch of inaccuracies. One thing that caught my attention is how he quotes a study out of context: "The sleep deprived person can in fact deliver the exact same results as someone who isn’t sleep deprived in any exercise. That is, given it is a non repeated exercise and they give it their best shot." This phenomenon is called neuron tiring and he makes it sound like someone only carries out wrong judgements sparingly whereas it is more like when person is exhausted from running. The person's legs don't turn off, they are tired. They are still useable and could probably sprint for a very short distance but will eventually start shaking. If the person tries to sprint again, he can but still not for long. This is what being tired or sleep deprived does. You can go for very short sprints but you fail at endurance. And the 8 hours thing is a mean and it is not pseudo science. Google actual medical sources and see for yourself.
