I'm always Half Asleep. At least when I'm on (in?) Yehupetz.

But with discussions about who's worse off, there are no undertones of "look at me, I'm superhuman".
Sometimes there is. People brag about their resilience.

Yes but often when people complain it's a way of saying "na na na na na I slept less than you" :)

Many times "complaining" is actually bragging.

I don't think sleep is stigmatized. I hear people complaining all the time about lack of sleep.

Yes, 100%. For some reason it's considered embarrassing to "need your sleep" as if being a sleep deprived individual is some kind of ideal to strive towards. I guess sleep kind of feels like a waste of time to many and it's hard to overcome that feeling.

People say things like "I'll sleep when I'm dead" and stay up all night working on projects, wrecking their health, and that's considered normal. It doesn't make any sense. Sleep is a basic need.
