I'm not a big sleeper. It just feels like wasting time. If I wake up, and it's after 5 A.M., I stay up.

I would love to be a sleeper, but I'm not. I'm usually up pretty early, even if I've been out the night before.

I think the best way to get a good night sleep is to work hard throughout the day. If you work hard and, of course, work out.

I've never enjoyed sleep as much until I got the 'Today' job. There is something about early sleep that's much better than late sleep. I feel myself going to sleep; I don't just plonk my head on the pillow. It's a sort of winding-down thing.

I'm a light sleeper, but so long as I'm wearing earplugs, I sleep well.

Sleep is all about recovering. So if you're not sleeping, you're not recovering. And if you're going to break your body down a lot, you better find ways to build it back up. And the only way to do that is get a lot of sleep. So for me, I go to bed at like 8:30, 9:00. As soon as I put my kids to bed. Because I'm up at 5:30 the next day.

I tend to sleep a lot.

I love to sleep. I'm an excellent, excellent sleeper.

I am an insomniac. Most of my nights include a moment of wakening. Often I will make my way to the kitchen to make tea and read for awhile.

Even sleep is part of my job because I need a certain number of hours of sleep to be able to train at the intensity that I do. I'm constantly working to keep my body in the best possible shape.
