Hour sleep is a myth

I think that generalized prescriptions for health are ultimately bullshit. Everyone is different and is going through different things.
When I'm super stressed out at work or with life in general, I sleep more. Sometimes up to 10-11 hours. When things mellow out and I have more free time, more energy, and I'm hitting the gym more, I usually sleep 6-7 hours.
I think the same logic can be applied to calorie and nutrient intake. If you have a schedule that runs like clockwork, week in, week out, okay. It's probably easier to formulate a prescribed health regimen. But for those of us that have a more erratic lifestyle, you gotta adapt and learn to listen to your body.
