Reminds me of this post on sleep from a while back. It was a blog post thoroughly reviewing a book that was attempting to overview studies like the one referenced in the article here.

Honestly, I'd curate articles from business content generators like Forbes and Fast Company very carefully. The reporting quality is very uneven, and it's clear the writers are being paid per article with little editing other than for obvious language errors.
Oh yes, absolutely. I could probably have made it more clear that this was amusement-based rather than information-based posting. Just something I got a chuckle from over my Sunday coffee.

The 2003 study finds the exact opposite. Performance is off the charts for those who don't sleep, except for the psychomotor vigilance task (PVT) test. The PVT test is still significantly worse...

As the authors clear this up in a later update to the study where they clearly explain that:
Huh? I can tell you from personal experience that I function much better with 6 hours of sleep a night for 2 weeks than if I get no sleep for 2 weeks, why didn't they study that? If I get no sleep...
Subjects in a lab-based sleep study who were allowed to get only six hours of sleep a night for two weeks straight functioned as poorly as those who were forced to stay awake for two days straight.

If I get no sleep for more than 2 nights at around the 50 hour mark I start slurring and by 65 hours or so I start to feel drunk while totally sober. Meanwhile I can do 6 hours a night for a year and the only sign is my deep resentment of the sun.
Sleep is so weird. I used to do gaming marathons for charity and me and my friend hit 28hrs straight once and I felt that drunk feeling toward the end. I'd never been so tired in my life, so when...
Sleep is so weird. I used to do gaming marathons for charity and me and my friend hit 28hrs straight once and I felt that drunk feeling toward the end. I'd never been so tired in my life, so when I finally went to bed I was prepared to sleep through most of that day. But nope, woke up 2 hours later feeling surprisingly refreshed and it was like the marathon had never happened.

Well heck, I guess I might as well stop sleeping entirely.
