Sometimes there aren't enough hours in the day.

  3. "Sometimes there aren't enough hours in the day...."

    You may want to sleep less to get more day hours. Here are few examples of great people, hope it will inspire you:

    Margaret Thatcher

    Margaret Thatcher, the former prime minister, was famous for getting by on only four hours a night.

    Thomas Edison
    Thomas Edison slept 3-4 hours at night, regarding sleep as a waste of time

    Leonardo Da Vinci
    15 minutes every four hours (ie. 1.5 hours)
    It was said that he would sleep just 15 minutes of every four hours.

    Napoleon Bonaparte

    Napoleon Bonaparte learned to live with the fact that he only existed on three or four hours sleep a night and got on with his grand schemes.

    Michelangelo
    Both aboriginal peoples and highly creative people (such as Thomas Edison and Michelangelo) rarely sleep for more than four hours at a time.

    Florence Nightingale
    Florence Nightingale only slept four hours a night

    Madonna
    Madonna has revealed she only grabs four hours sleep a night because she constantly worries about everything that is going on her life.

    And finally, the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas notes in its Health Watch:

    “As long as people got more than four hours of sleep a night, they didn't have an increased risk of dying. Oddly enough, people who slept more than eight hours a night had a slightly higher risk for death than those who got only seven hours of sleep a night. There was also an increased risk associated with using sleeping pills."

  4. i hope you don't get inspiration at OM's comment. 4 hours isn't enough and leonardo da vinci(if it's true) must have been some kind of freek. for me, it usually takes 15 minutes to fall asleep. maybe he was so trained that when he lied down someone fliped and there he was...sleeping. or...he was always sleepy and it wasn't hard for him to fall asleep at all, but how did he wake up after 15 minutes when he was so sleepy??????

    by the way..."sometimes there aren't enough hours in the day".

    be cool
