In aggregate it seems pretty clear the science is in for living a healthy life: get enough sleep, exercise, don't eat sugar.

It's obviously more complicated than that, especially at the individual level, but if you aren't hitting those three you're missing out on some serious quality of life improvements (both in the short term and long term).

Can't obsesses over the get enough sleep and exercise thing. Even more important working a sedentary office job mixed with a always alert/ops style job (some of us may be familiar with).

Realizing when to let a problem be organizational rather than a personal sleep deficit is also key in those positions. They'll say your a rock-star for trading your sleep and life for their bottom line. It's debt impounding interest and unless your luckier than a power-ball winner they won't be there when that payment is due.
