Unlike lots of the world’s most successful people, Jeff Bezos, the founder of e-commerce giant Amazon, is not a morning person.
Bezos places a lot of emphasis on getting a good night’s sleep. In 1999 he told the Wall Street Journal that he feels “so much better all day long if I’ve had eight hours.”
He has also previously spoken of deliberately avoiding early morning meetings so that he can spend his mornings having a leisurely breakfast with his wife Mackenzie and their four children.
According to Sleepy People, avoiding super early mornings allows Bezos to get away without using an alarm clock, and get a natural night’s sleep. He also gives himself time to eat a healthy breakfast, rather than cramming down fatty convenience foods.
