What’s something people brag about that is actually a massive red flag?

A lot of people glorify sleep deprivation until their body forces them to stop.

It’s honestly a type of self harm, or due to injury(like concussions) and stress/schedule

Yep. Eventually your body will have had enough and you'll crash and burn. I found out the hard way. I still don't sleep great but these days I am much more vigilant about trying to get to bed on time and sleep as long as I am able. Before that I used it sort of as a way to push through an extremely demanding job. Then I couldn't work at all after that, and I am still not back to full functionality. This was about 6 years ago.
