Goodness. Like tennis....eggs....butter.....etc. One study says you need more sleep for success and another says less for success. Just do your own damn thing and you alone should decide what success is anyway.

When I spent several months sleeping 4 to 5 hours a night because I was trying to get a lot done quickly I had a heart attack... That doesn’t do much for one’s “success”...

Jeff Bezos begs to differ. And I have no respect for anyone in an MBA program. Good night. I need to get my solid 8 hours.

The late pastor at my church prior to my present assignment had started the church in 1950, and served it for more than 50 years; he only slept 4 hours a night, and to him that was normal.

This is very foolish advice. You can’t tax your body without a payback down the road, and you don’t want that kind of payback.

That article is highly irresponsible.

Advising people to engage in a behavior that is abnormal, regardless of individual biological variation, pre-existing medical conditions, and with no consideration to the influence such abnormal behavior may have on other risk factors in a person’s life... the mind just boggles. Ladies and gentlemen, human beings are different, some of them will be able to do things that you can’t simply due to their biology, so trying to force yourself to do something that the vast majority of us don’t or can’t isn’t particularly bright.

I guess I can be thankful that the dim lady writing the article is simply a grad student pursuing an MBA, rather than someone important or likely to be listened to.

But, hey, if you’re willing to follow potentially life-altering medical advice provided to you by a business student, then I don’t think there’s much of anything I can tell you that is going to prevent you from aiming for that Darwin Award.

Not worth the price!

Define “success”.

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.

This woman sounds like a real joy to be around: always focused on tasks, irrespective of their actual value. Run run run run run. But for what? I've been working for forty years, and I can vouch that most meetings and phone calls and emails are a goddamn waste of time. Besides, there is not a single person anywhere ever who on their deathbed thought to themselves: "If only I had spent more time networking and attending meetings..."

Sleep the amount of time your own body requires, preferably while hugging your partner. Spend time with your kids and grand-kids. Take a nap when you need it. Work when you must, and work hard when you do. Work really hard, in fact, but at tasks that matter - the ones that add value for your clients and customers. And if that takes, oh, more than 10 hours a day, you're probably doing something wrong. Then: go home, have a drink, eat dinner and enjoy the company of the ones who really matter - your friends and family.

I don’t believe for a second that BO sleeps only 3-4 hours a night.

I had an uncle who was a scientist invited to meet with other intellectual lights, organized by Buckminster Fuller.

When my uncle came back, I told him that I had read Fuller credited lack of sleep for his extraordinary creativity.

My uncle responded that Bucky should get a lot more sleep.

the trick is not to sleep less, it's to multiply the time.

eh? you say.

multiply you time, by investing in things that make money without using up much of your time.

TIME is a very valuable commodity that all of us have a limited amount of. Since we are only given a set amount of it, the best and easiest way of making a LOT more money is to invest in things that make money with little or no time input on your part.

Things that fall into this category: rental property, stocks, billboard owner, storage facility, any business that you can hire and trust someone else to competently manage, ect.

Any thing you do that requires your constant presence ... is by definition limited in terms of what you can earn doing it.

Some people naturally require less sleep so they have more time for useful activities, but I don't think you can force it.

This whole article was a puff piece. The only reason it was written is so they could throw in the name of Barack Ubama as one of those industrious people who sleep less, which I am sure is a lie.

They are desperate to find positive things to say about him, no matter how trivial or untrue.

and remember, every hour of sleep before midnight counts as two.

If Obama only needs 4 hours of sleep (which I don’t believe) he should have been studying so he’d know how to pronounce the word ‘corpsman” and spell the word Syracuse.
