Absolutely agree. I'm in a kind of death march of my own, since my exams start tomorrow and yet I haven't asked for days on my full time job (as a software engineer, i.e., a completely brain-oriented job). For the last 15 days I've done basically nothing but studying, working and satisfying vital needs like eating... or sleeping. Not for a single moment have I thought of sleeping less than 7-8 hours a day, since I know for past experiences that it would be the stupidest thing to do. Anyone advising to undersleep, especially when you have to do a lot of work, is completely clueless (or worse, wants you to fail). I'm so concerned with not undersleeping that I'm getting up extremely early, so that if my body is asking for more than 8 hours, I still have plenty of time to sleep before going to work. (This break, that I'm using to write this message, will be the last one until the end of the next three days, which include 4 exams)
