I remember hearing that neither Thatcher nor Chuchill slept a whole lot.

You knew this would happen, some moron would jump up and say that all you require is 4-5 hours.. It’s me.. surprise!

That is it, 4 hours and occasionally 5, tops.. My entire life I have had trouble sleeping, so now I take pills to get 4 hours.. yuck.

I do nap, 20-30 minutes mid day, and have done that forever.. I worked in the restaurant and hotel business 45 years, and fit right in with the long hours.. 7am-2am.. yup

In general... You should eat when your hungry and not by the clock and you should sleep when your tired.

Try to be as productive as possible in the mean time.

Also turn off the dam TV.

>> I came to realize that the only way to do this is sleep less!

Relative to sleeping too much?

Too little sleep is very unhealthy, and the effects of fatigue can be disastrous.

For those not sure, 7-8 hours is adequate for the average adult.

I haven’t slept since Sputnik.

I hears Thomas Edison only slept a few hours a night. Later it was found he also had a couch in his office where he took of naps.

Eddie Rickenbacker would pull that trick, too. He'd get to the office very early in the morning.

3-4 hours a day? I call total B.S. Take a group of people and give them only 3-4 hours sleep every night for six months and 90% or more would be hospitalized or dead.

my secret....I started my own business and threw away my alarm clock. Alarm clocks are evil creations.

I don’t buy it. My father-in-law is a very successful man. He built a little garage business up to a pretty sizeable one. He believes anyone who sleeps past four in the morning is a lazy bum, but he also goes to bed early. Sleep is important to function properly.
