Once I read Matthew Walker's "Why We Sleep" - I've started prioritizing sleep over most things. Highly recommend that book.

I would rather people over-compensate on sleep than under compensate.

Being sleep deprived while driving not only puts your life in danger, but also the lives of others on the road. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2808128/

I trust my body and my brain, and I know I feel absolutely awful if I don't get enough sleep. That's reason enough.
