Hundreds of books and articles have been written about the importance of sleep and how it affects our performance at work.Some expertseven say that showing up to work tired is the same as showing up to work drunk. Of course, getting enough sleep is easier said than done, especially if you're a busy entrepreneur.

The good news is that scores of successful people get by on fewer than eight hours of sleep a night. Arianna Huffington, a longtime advocate for sleep, gets her full eight hours (Tiger Woods gets even more at eight-and-a-half hours), but Mark Wahlberg, Richard Branson, Elon Musk and scores of other high-profile people survive on less.
