I spend a lot of time obsessing about getting a dignified eight hours' sleep.

I'm a fan of the power nap. About twice a week, I'll stretch out on a little couch in my office for 20 minutes. I don't need a wake-up call; I pop right up, feeling refreshed.

Surely, anyway, a working day of eight or nine hours which is not split by a nap is simply too much for a human being to take, day in, day out, and particularly so in hot weather.

I've never been one of those programmers that works effectively on short amounts of sleep. I've always needed eight hours.

I'm a believer in the nap. I don't care what it is. 15 minutes. Five hours. If you know someone's going to come back and come to work.

I have a hard time getting past the day without the nap, so the nap is a must.

I usually take a two-hour nap from one to four.

I'm an eight hours kind of sleeper, so I definitely try to schedule that in.

When I was younger, I had this fairy tale that you can have the eight hours of sleep and be a healthy, balanced person and still achieve your goals. The reality is, that hasn't always been the case.
