Short YouTube clip by Rich Bello giving prescriptive sleep advice: sleep at night (not nocturnal), preferred sleep window 10:00pm–12:00am, recommendation to get at least 7½ hours, and an asserted peak sleep cycle around 2:00am–4:00am. Bello warns that night-shift work raises risks (mentions cancer, heart disease, obesity), refers to 'night shift worker disorder', and states the heuristic that 'every hour of sleep before midnight is worth two after midnight.'
