CEO of Tesla Elon Musk says I sleep ‘about 6 hours’ a night – ‘I tried less, but total productivity decreases’CEO of Tesla Elon Musk says I sleep ‘about 6 hours’ a night – ‘I tried less, but total productivity decreases’

“I work a lot,” Musk told Joe Rogan during the latest episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience.” “Normally, I’ll be in meetings at work until 1 or 2 in the morning. Saturday [and] Sunday, usually not, but sometimes.”

So, how does Musk have time to do it all? He keeps his time sleeping to a minimum.

Musk gets “about six hours” of sleep, he told Rogan. “I tried sleeping less, but then total productivity decreases,” he said. “I don’t find myself wanting more sleep than six [hours].”

Musk has said that in the past he worked hundreds of hours a week. Sometimes the billionaire would even sleep on the floor under his desk at Tesla, the Wall Street Journal reported.

“There were times when, some weeks ... I haven’t counted exactly, but I would just sort of sleep for a few hours, work, sleep for a few hours, work, seven days a week,” Musk told Kara Swisher in November 2018, recalling his effort to ramp up Tesla Model 3 production. “Some of those [weeks] must have been 120 hours or something nutty.”

Musk admitted that the schedule was not healthy, telling Swisher that he had “burnt out a bunch of neurons.”

“No one should put this many hours into your work,” he told Axios in 2018. ”[It’s] not recommended for anyone. You’re gonna go a little bonkers if you work 120 hours a week.”
