A good night’s sleep or a power nap can do wonders. The human system treats it like a reset button – runs a garbage collector on the brain and body, clears up unwanted thoughts, cools down emotions and recharges itself. There is a noticeable difference in how we feel after a good rest. Just like the conspicuous effects of a lack of rest – irritability, mercurial emotions, inability to focus and low efficiency. Despite these factors, too often, we compromise on it for other pursuits.
Sleeping is like sharpening the saw when cutting wood. The time spent is well worth it.

Personally, I think the 4-hour version will lead to faster burnout. There is a good book on sleep which I am yet to read https://www.amazon.com/Why-We-Sleep-Unlocking-Dreams/dp/1501144316. This would give better insights I believe.
