A lot of productive people like to talk about how much sleeping is a waste of time and why we should all avoid sleeping. I do not subscribe to that view.
I rather believe that if I have worked hard round the clock, I deserve my 5 – 7 hour break to sleep and I should not feel guilty about sleeping. I really hope you are not one of those who draw up 24 hour schedules for work without adding time to sleep into the mix, it will not work.
It is totally pointless to continue working when you are tired. A little nap will do more good than stubbornly staying awake just to prove that you are not wasting time on sleeping. Sleeping is a valid part of the 24hr cycle just like eating.
Switching into higher productivity does not really start by reducing sleep time.
Start by optimizing your waking hours. Anyone who masters productivity can get more done in 12 hours, than the man who is up for 22hours every day and yet does not master productivity.
