I’ll take the shorter lifespan and bet that more diseases will be cured in the future. The extra hours of life I get every day will ultimately allow me to afford treatment.

Good for you if it doesn’t cause you any problems, but if I don’t get enough sleep I really notice my mood and productivity dips. Everyone is different, so just don’t enforce the same regime on others.
Health is never a priority until you smack your proverbial head off the concrete...
Theres a lot of evidence that the extra hour of sleep will boost your efficiency and quality of life while awake though.
