Definitely! I really should have put that in the article: sleep is vital.
What I've been doing on my current death march is ensuring that the only non-working time I'm taking is right before bed: just long enough to watch an episode of a serialised TV show or otherwise unwind a bit. That seems to work well in at least minimising the amount of time I spend lying awake at bedtime.

For similar reasons, I try to take out time to exercise and really move about just before midday/lunch, usually about the time that I've started to feel myself naturally slowing down and losing focus anyway after a few hours (even with breaks) of working.
