I kind of feel like a bad developer. I like to sleep a lot and I don't practice in my free time, or I practice very little. But at working hours, when I'm inspired, I'm a machine.
I'm feeling bad lately because my two best friends are the kind of developers who sleep ~3 hours a day and they seem to be happy with that.
I feel like to improve my skills, I should do that too. Take some sleep hours or out of work hours and practice. But I don't really like that idea.
Does that make me a bad developer? I'm not sure, but still I'd like this feeling to go somehow.
Ok, I would suggest getting at least 8 hours of sleep. Your health comes first before your work.

I admire how hard and how much you work :D

This is just not maintainable. They will hit developer fatigue and burn out hard, I can guarantee that. Don't feel guilty for not participating in such a destructive lifestyle. Be proud of the good work you do in your working hours. Enjoy your life outside of them.
