When America Declared War on Sleep
Ever wonder why pulling an all-nighter feels like a badge of honor? Thomas Edison claimed he needed just four hours of sleep, spending marathon sessions in his lab while the world slumbered. Charles Lindbergh became a national hero not just for crossing the Atlantic, but for staying awake for 33 straight hours while doing it. Fast forward to today, and you'll find executives like Donald Trump dismissing anyone who sleeps more than necessary as a "loser." This isn't just tough talk-it's the culmination of over a century of American culture that transformed sleep from a biological necessity into a character flaw. We've built an entire society on the premise that rest is for the weak, creating millions of chronically exhausted workers while their bosses dream of endless productivity. How did we get here?
