Sleep is More Important than Food; Harvard Business Review, 3/3/11

Tony Schwartz, Harvard Business Review; Sleep is More Important than Food:

"In Anders Ericcson's famous study of violinists, the top performers slept an average of 8 ½ hours out of every 24, including a 20 to 30 minute midafternoon nap some 2 hours a day more than the average American.

The top violinists also reported that except for practice itself, sleep was second most important factor in improving as violinists."
