Or it can just say healthy, productive people go to sleep. I find the "real men" headline bait almost as annoying as the pop-up.

- drcube 13y agoI think it's A) a callback to the "Real Men Don't Eat Quiche" book/concept. And B) trying to overcome the macho, ego mentality that they feel is driving professionals to sleep less.
- visakanv 13y agoIt is. Some people believe that we should lead the concept into healthier territories, which would be a superior outcome to the status quo. Others believe we should avoid using it altogether, and that any use of the term automatically perpetuates the macho, ego mentality- whether intentionally or not. There's not much winning to be had, I've never seen anybody really change their minds about this, because we feel good about the side we pick. Best IMHO to just acknowledge the deeper issue, address it and keep moving forward.
- billmalarky 13y agoI was honestly expecting it to point out that lack of sleep kills your testosterone levels (it didn't). As it turns out, "real" men really do get sleep.
- badman_ting 13y agoMe too. Real men don't need biz-mag headlines to tell them what makes them a man.
