IMO medicine is currently in a pre-germ theory of disease state when it comes to sleep. The importance of sleep is completely disregarded for residents, as well as for patients. There really isn't much that's more important than sleep.

And it's a well known fact that the extreme residency model was pioneered by a cocaine addict [1], but yet no progress has been made. It's fucking absurd.
