Maybe he's out for an early morning run with Paul Nuttall?

Those are predictions of the future, one of which was cultural. Is that the same as pointing out the existing, observable links between one thing and another? I don't think so. You even said so yourself when you said "Your immune system will suffer, and you will be more likely to develop viruses, infections and other illnesses" Get "spoon fed" that claim from somewhere?

Probably not the best example though - Thatcher spent the last 15 years of her life with dementia and suffered a number of strokes (which, ironically, are linked to lack of sleep), one of which eventually killed her. Perhaps her retirement would have been a lot healthier if she'd taken better care of herself while working
Nobody is getting sucked in, it's just that people like you get pointlessly angry whenever the public is informed about something to do with health. It's about risk, isn't it - it would be irresponsible not to tell people they risk increasing their chances of certain things if they don't keep an eye on something. I'm not sucked into anything - I go to sleep when I'm tired and most days wake up a bit before the alarm goes off. I'm not planning my life around health guidelines. That doesn't mean I'll insist that links between lack and sleep and poor health are made up.

It's more about those who might watch Netflix until 11:30pm then piss around on their phones for half an hour, then set the alarm for when they need to be up to get ready for work at 6am. They might feel like they're coping just fine because they've had a cup of coffee or two in the morning, but that doesn't mean they aren't causing themselves damage with the way they'e trying to balance their lives.
