Unlike the early-rising CEOs, Buffett values his sleep. “I have no desire to get to work at four in the morning,” he said in a 2017 interview with PBS NewsHour. “I like to sleep,” he added. “So I will usually sleep eight hours a night.”
Good sleep can extend your life, as noted by a study at the American College of Cardiology conference. Stanford professor Andrew Huberman agrees, highlighting its role in stress relief, immune support, and emotional stability.

Joy? Seems to be going around these days.
I’ll take genetics for a 1000, Alex.
“Joy” macht frei.
I invested in Berkshire Hathaway 20 years ago. It was a good decision. Counteracted of course by several bad ones.
Adrenochrome
he seems to be fond of young snatch, too, which I suppose is a might less devious than being fond of young boys.
Dr thunder, candy and laughter- I shud live to 115
I’ve always believed that there are three things that determine a long life. Genetics, how well you take care of yourself, and blind luck. Two out of the three things you can’t do anything about.
How long did his mother, father and grandparents live?
I’d be more joyful if I had his money ; )
BINGO!!!
I would have said he’s proof of “the good die young” but maybe that’s just me.
In my personal experience, what has helped me the most is daily physical activity. I had several health issues in my 50’s. At age 60, I joined a cheap private golf & country club in Washougal, WA (Orchard Hills CC) and gradually increased to 5 rounds of 18 every week. That amounted to walking 30 miles every week pushing my golf cart on a hilly course. All my health issues slowly disappeared! Rigorous daily exercise along with healthy nutrition is my key to good health at age 84. Still no aches and pains, and no prescriptions required!
“Joy”
Don’t forget “hope”...as in ..I hope I will be alive tomorrow.
Otherwise, genetics plays big role in longevity.
IOW luck of the draw.
I ve read that getting enough sleep jacks you metabolism as well.
I was just thinking that!
Castro, Buffet, Soros, Carter, the evil never seem to die.
I have friends and business associates who seem to get by on 5 hours sleep (or less) per night. They are mostly high-functioning and successful in multiple domains - one friend built a business from scratch, sold it for $25 million. Built his own house, helped his sons start businesses, volunteers with church organizations. He's a high-energy guy and as he's fine with 4 hours per night, I imagine he's successful also because he's got 4 more hours every day to "do stuff."
I'm not lazy either, but if I followed his sleep schedule, I would be dead within a year.
As many people have said (though Twain apparently was not one of them), golf is a good walk spoiled. Still, whatever works for you is good.
Nice area around Washougal. My oldest brother lives in Camas, and I used to go swimming along the Washougal River many years ago.
