Haha. That's terrible advice! :)

How about just checking your email once every few hours or when you feel like it? That seems to be a less extreme reaction.

Many people who took the application seriously will have been working like crazy the past couple of weeks, and the very serious entrepreneurs have months or years more of it ahead. A "night off" would probably do a lot of good for some of the applicants.

Getting a relatively healthy drink, enjoying some leisure time, and going to sleep at a reasonable hour... I can think of much worse advice. :P
