It'd be a lot better if the article wasn't filled with ad nauseam scaremongering about how poor sleep causes every form of human suffering if not outright death.
Many of his suggestions are simply not actionable to many people in the strongest sense of the term. Letting children sleep longer is simply not legal in (I assume) most jurisdictions. He mentions off-hand that co-sleeping is not recommended by most pediatricians but fails to mention that the risk associated with co-sleeping is death. Free sleeping is simply not possible for those who need to be at work in the mornings.
This article essentially amounts to a fire-and-brimstone sermon full of questionable statements, things that run directly contrary to established science, and poor argumentation and use of sources; it is also an order of magnitude too long for even the most patient reader.
Truly a shame, because I think there's actually a lot of useful ideas and information there, but they are very hard to separate from the scaremongering and pseudoscience.
