Isn’t that assuming that lack of sleep affects everyone in the same way? Different people need different amounts of sleep.

I am a night owl and so find a shitty nights sleep will result in a shitty morning; but I’ll feel much better by the end of the day. Whereas a morning person might wake up without issues and only pay the price later on (and counter with an early night).

Not according to all medical advise I've read (no lifestyle advice / lifehacks).

The body really needs its sleep, and the amount is more or less fixed to 7-8 hours.

There's only a small (1-2 hours variation with age, not with individual people).
