When I was in my early 20s, I was able to work (programming) for several days a week without sleep. Non stop programming. I'm now in my early 30s, and whenever I stay late programming, like half a night, I feel like my brain will explode. Forcing myself to think hard when I'm too sleepy causes me physical pain and I feel like I'll get a stroke or something. While in my early 20s I could push myself as hard as possible against sleepiness and plow through anything.
What is the reason for this? What has changed? A bit more details than "you're older" would be appreciated.

Has anyone read pic related? Is it good? And most importantly: How does one improve their sleep, scientifically speaking?
CONTEXT:
I bought the book, haven't started it yet, but apparently someone found a lot of problems with some claims the author makes throughout the book. Here's the link to the post detailing the problems:
https://guzey.com/books/why-we-sleep/
I haven't read the post either, I'm planning on reading the book first and then reading the post, in order to judge by myself if the criticism is valid. But I wanted to know from /sci/ if anyone has read the book, and if it is actually good or a waste of time. But above all, I guess what I really want to know is if /sci/ has sleeping problems, and what have they done to improve their sleep.
Basically I just want to discuss how to get some good quality sleep in order to perform better throughout the day. Thanks in advance.
