Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has a secret: He’s not like those CEOs you see on TV.
On television, CEOs are superheroes. They stay up all hours of the night, plotting company strategy and closing deals on the other side of the world. In the real world, successful CEOs are more like Nadella. They understand that they’re only human. That’s why Satya Nadella makes a commitment to getting at least eight hours of sleep every night and sleeping until 7 a.m.
In a culture in which sleep deprivation becomes a badge of honor, Nadella’s admission might seem shocking. In truth, the best CEOs and entrepreneurs know that winning doesn’t require staying up late — it requires staying sharp and alert by using the best tools at your disposal. You probably don’t need to upgrade to a more comfortable bed with new mattress technology. But you should try some of these entrepreneurial tips for staying sharp from leaders who’ve proven they know how to stay ready for anything.
