<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nSo, how many hours do famous entrepreneurs sleep? Famous entrepreneurs sleep the following number of hours:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In this article, we’ll take a look at this range of famous entrepreneurs to better understand their routines and why they work for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is an entrepreneur that needs to maximize the hours in his week. Essentially working two jobs, Musk spends an average of 40 hours with SpaceX a week and an additional 42 hours at Tesla. Given that each role equates to approximately the same number of hours one person in a full-time position works a week, it is no wonder Musk needs to limit his sleep and follow a strict routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Musk typically goes to bed at 1:00 am and wakes at 7:00 am, aiming to get 6 hours of sleep per night. This amount of sleep has been carefully determined to be a balance between a busy lifestyle and mental acuity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Too much sleep prevents Musk from performing the required number of hours in his leadership roles with both Tesla and SpaceX (as well as an additional half day volunteering with OpenAI, a not-for-profit focused on artificial intelligence), but too little sleep and Musk notices a detrimental impact on his focus and mental clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Chief Executive Officer of social media giant Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg is no stranger to hard work. Typically working 50-60 hour weeks in his leadership role, Mark follows a routine to ensure he can fit exercise, family time, and sleep around his busy work schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mark is often up late talking to programmers, so he doesn’t rise until 8:00 am or later, depending on the time his conversations end the day before. He aims to get a minimum of five hours sleep each night to ensure he has enough energy to focus during meetings, workout three times a week, and enjoy time with his family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Jack Dorsey is another entrepreneur kept busy by being the CEO of two companies: Twitter and Square. His time is spread across the two organizations, with each day of the week themed to focus on one particular type of task (e.g., Monday is for management, Tuesday is for product and design, and so on).<\/p>\n\n\n\n He takes a similarly structured approach to his sleep and personal routine to ensure that he has enough time to devote to each of his commitments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dorsey usually gets six hours of sleep per night, going to bed at 11:00pm and rising at 5:00am. He needs to wake early to fit in his regimented morning routine: one hour of meditation<\/a>, a HIIT workout consisting of three seven-minute exercises, then coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Entrepreneurial great and founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates did not become a household name for no reason. His dedication to business and commitment to philanthropy ensure that his days are kept full. To get the most out of his life, Gates prioritizes sleep and schedules seven hours of slumber per night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Gates’ typical routine has him going to bed at midnight and waking at 7:00 am. While he has previously admitted he is jealous of people who can function on less sleep, Gates requires at least seven hours to perform at his best. He has said that he can function on less sleep when he has to perform certain tasks, such as giving a speech the next day. However, to be able to think creatively, he needs at least seven hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\nElon Musk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
