I live in Hong Kong and I have a blog about how people can make better decisions. I used to be an equity research analyst and portfolio manager.

6) Older people need just as much sleep as younger people. It's just that they can't get it, so they spend their days chronically sleep-deprived. That's why old people are so grumpy and hate it when other people build housing in their neighborhood.pic.twitter.com/vDxLJ06kxW
7) Sleep loss affects every major health system and health outcome.pic.twitter.com/wtIMyeTyza
8) Sleep loss makes you hungrier, and reduces the satiety of the food you eat. You also crave sweets, starches, and salty food more.pic.twitter.com/ayKixgKfLc
9) Sleep loss increases the occurrence of cancer and other health problems because it causes sustained inflammation.pic.twitter.com/VporcODUGB
10) Sleep loss disables your ability to read faces and recognize emotions. Without the ability to read others, people become withdrawn and fearful. Old people are a great example of this.pic.twitter.com/9amLbtpn2g
11) Sleeping 9 hours a day is not too much.pic.twitter.com/q4i8BJx2XR
12) The main reasons for insufficient sleep.pic.twitter.com/9koYMvZom6
13) Other data that I didn't screenshot - Sleeping pills are counterproductive. Instead, CBT is recommended. Alcohol is extremely disruptive of sleep quality, even worse than caffeine. A cold (18C) and pitch dark room is ideal.
14) Lastly, the Dunning-Kruger effect happens with sleep too. People who don't have enough sleep can't recognize it.
Please get enough sleep everyone! It's so important!

I'm updating my recommendation to "please get enough sleep that you don't feel like shit the next day"
