You can’t really say it does or doesn’t. Research shows stress can be a contributor though.

Main factors are sleep, sunlight, diet and exercise as well as stress. You can see her schedule here:

Sleep about 6hr, which isnt ideal. Not much chance to get sunlight which significantly reduces cancer incidence. Not much relaxing time.

The question becomes, is the work worth it?

That's probably not her real schedule. It looks like clickbait and was probably invented by the author. (Who might be our prolific friend Chat-GPT.)

Besides 10:00pm to 5:30am is 7.5 hours, which is either optimal or (arguably) too much.

Lastly, there's no clear evidence tying sleep duration to cancer incidence. See, e.g.: https://bmccancer.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12885-...

Where’s your scientific report that says sunlight significantly reduces lung cancer?

We shouldn’t have people making such claims on HN without providing references.

She was also home having dinner with her family by 6:30pm.

Funny that watching YouTube was not one of the things she did, whereas most people spend hours on YouTube/social media.

I’ve tried to google with no success but is it known if she smoked or ever did? Or is she part of the unlucky cohort (~12.5%) of non-smokers that get lung cancer?

Being on the wrong side of the wealth-gap can also induce stress ...

Well, yeah. For the sort of people who have "Title: CEO" on their Wikipedia page I suspect we're overdrawing from the pool of people where mission implicitly matters a little more than taking it easy. One way or the other you're going to die, but if your response to that is to relax and try to eke out a few years by keeping your stress down then CEOing is probably not for you.

You can change it if you want to. An extra 25 years seems worth it to me.
