DeepMind CEO Adopts Two-Shift Sleep Schedule

Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis told Fortune on Wednesday that he typically sleeps about six hours and divides work into two shifts: packed daytime meetings and late-night creative work from roughly 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. He said he has followed the routine for about a decade and warned that less sleep would harm the brain; Hassabis and John Jumper won the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
