I would think it is a malicious attack in response to Reddit incorrectly identifying and popularizing the idea that Sunil Tripathi was one of the Boston Marathon bombers.
I am just starting out with programming and my biggest struggle with Python has been installing modules and eggs and configuring it to work with the server and a database. I had not touched PHP yet because everyone said Python/Ruby are superior. One day I decided to, and was amazed at how quickly/easily I could write a dynamic website with a database back-end that didn't require forever to configure and throw up errors every 3 seconds.
"I’ve noticed a trend. The ones who are most successful seem to be the ones who value their physical and mental health."
This could be skewed. I'd imagine entrepreneurs who are already successful have the mental peace to order their life and make time for these things. Those without success will be overly concerned with making something work and figure they can deal with physical and mental health when they have achieved success. So the statistics or things you are reading may look like there is a causal relationship between exercise, sleep --> success, but it is really success --> exercise, sleep.
