I should point out that while this is a fairly commonly espoused opinion in audax circles, it is by no means unique. I know of some riders that find it easier to push themselves through a 400 than take a sleep break on a 600.
Mind you, you could be one of those people that find it possible to run through a 600 without sleep but those are few and far between.
For those that have their eyes on LEL, I would advise finding out what kind of rider you are as soon as possible. First step I'd recommend in that is to make sure that on the day after any audax you do, get up fairly early and push yourself out the door again for a recovery ride.
