7. Winston Churchill
“Nature has not intended mankind to work from
eight in the morning until midnight without that
refreshment of blessed oblivion which, even if it
only lasts twenty minutes, is sufficient to renew
all the vital forces… Don’t think you will be
doing less work because you sleep during the
day. That’s a foolish notion held by people who
have no imaginations. You will be able to
accomplish more. You get two days in one —
well, at least one and a half,” he said.
