>>16703521This is what hacks actually believe. Idiots that have nice easy lives with outstanding salaries and came from money anyways and can't possibly conceive a patient could be sleep deprived and if they are it's just a matter of CBT and sleep hygiene, both of which have absolutely no evidence of working. Sleep deprivation can be induced by stress alone and the stress of immediate demands and obligations can push the organism to persist to the point of exhaustion or death in total absence of apnea, vitamin d toxicity, stimulants or pain. Insomnia is the worst and most prevalent condition that goes untreated. A decade of untreated insomnia is likely to end in death so it's even worse than the OP meme.
It's much easier to ignore sleep deprivation if you literally believe it doesn't exist and only extreme situations as defined can provoke insomnia which allows fools to sell intangibles like useless advice and words guilt free.
Z-drugs and benzodiazapines remain the safest hypnotic agents especially if given at the lowest dose and the patient is a non drinker. The sleep under them is inferior to nonmedicated sleep but is certainly better than no sleep and can extend a patients life by many decades.
