People, don't rely on vague scientific facts. Experiment with your own body.

This. Averages are just averages, and what might be good for most people is not necessarily good for a particular human being.

I had a similar experimentation process with my diet, trying to figure out when, how often, and what to eat so that it helps me to be healthy. I ended up with a bunch of unconventional habits that work better in my case than the average advice.

Magic number of sleep hours is BS. Try not to disrupt your natural circadian rhythms, sleep when you tired, wake up when you're rested. Boom.
