Nice read, but updating the formatting would make it easier.

It appears that even if we could feel like we are loosing time sleeping, instead it's helping and is mandatory for the learning to be effective ^_^

I've written the exact opposite article today.
I've gone down that path and it's not as bright as you imagine it.

TL;DR: Pick up as many challenges as you want, but make your health a priority

I spent my time for nothing after work these days.
So I thought that "Let's start! I'm gonna trying anything today for my career.'
and I saw your post. It was a good starting point for me.
Thank you :)
