In a recent infographic that looks at the responses from more than 1,400 surveyed individuals, successful leaders of industry throughout our history had their respective sleep habits plotted on a map of all the other responses. From people like inventors Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell in the field of engineering, to former Facebook CTO Bret Taylor and Microsoft founder Bill Gates in technology, the infographic aims to understand whether or not those who sleep less are actually capable of achieving more throughout the day. Indeed, when I was on my previous sleep schedule, I was not only offered with more hours throughout the day, but I felt almost empowered to utilize all of that additional time.
