I'm basically nocturnal.

I get maybe four hours of sleep a night. I'm a little bit crazy.

I have to have eight hours a night. I feel that everything falls apart if you don't sleep. If I spend four hours memorizing dialogue but don't sleep, then the next day I will not be able to stand in front of the camera and say my lines. For me, sleep is the number one thing.

Normally I sleep for 9, 10 hours a night.

I get like six or so hours of sleep a night.

Before the advent of artificial light, we had 13, 14 hours in bed every night... and so what we experience now is about a 40% contraction of how we used to sleep, and I for one am glad of that - I don't want to spend 13 hours in bed.

I spent every night until four in the morning on my dissertation, until I came to the point when I could not write another word, not even the next letter. I went to bed. Eight o'clock the next morning I was up writing again.

If I don't get eight hours, I can't function, so I'm a great believer in power naps.

I usually sleep just a few hours a night.
