DeepMind CEO Adopts Two-Shift Sleep Schedule
6.9
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.
Key Points
- 1Splits work into two shifts, sleeping about six hours nightly with late-night creative sessions.
- 2Maintains this schedule for about a decade, citing cognitive limits if he sleeps less.
- 3Shows founder-era long hours common among tech leaders; informs workplace planning and resilience.
Scoring Rationale
High relevance and official interview provide credibility, but shallow personal profile limits technical or practical utility.
