6 hours sleep vs fortnight

In the morning I read an interesting article written in Japanese, from a link on Niconico Douga.

Lack of sleep a little bit looks like as bad as fortnight - In the experiment on the article, people are divided into 3 groups, with 8 hours sleep, 6 hours sleep, and no sleep at all. Then people in each group looked like to take a test to check concentration, and 6 hour sleep group performed as badly as fortnight group.

I'm surprised that how lack of sleep to a small extent unexpectedly affect my health.
My sleep daily is 6 to 7 hours a day although more than 8 hours is desirable.

Of course I won't take a choice to get myself into fortnight group because slight shortage of sleep may be as bad as fortnight, but I would like to have enough sleep, managing my schedule, and making my daily post brief.

This made me learn some foreign language. However, I'm learning that overseas isn't so good as I dream about, especially as long as I go to public school. W...

It's my lack of confidence that is to be beaten

Autism, is it something to be removed? Or is it just another type of human being? I can't answer to this question. I, as you see, have language, and have a job. Although my struggles are real as well, I hear that there are a lot of cases of struggles many thousand times than mine. Ones who don't have language, or with serious behavioral problem. Although my behavioral problems, mainly social awkwardness, I can't answer the question whether autism is something that should be beaten. Instead, I can answer one question. I have to beat my lack of confidence through long struggles, if I want to succeed.
