Review Quotes: "What do Silicon Valley, long-haul truckers, and Donald Trump all have in common? An 'I'll sleep when I'm dead' ethic that conflates manliness with lack of sleep. Dangerously Sleepy shows that this is not just silly: it's downright dangerous."-- "Joan C. Williams, Founding Director of the Center for WorkLife Law"
