Let $f: \mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ and the essential supremum of $f$ $e=\inf\{\alpha\ge 0 \mid |f|\le\alpha\text{ almost everywhere}\}$

I can't see why $\lambda^*\left(\{x\in\mathbb{R} \mid |f(x)|\ge e-\epsilon\}\right)>0$ for $a and $\epsilon>0$, where $\lambda$ is the Lebesgue measure.

Could someone help me ?

Fixed after Didier Piau's comment.

if $\alpha then $|f|$ is not less or equal $\alpha$ a.e. (else $\alpha\geq e$ by definition), so there is a set of positive measure where $|f|>\alpha$.
