Poll - Do Scientists Sleep?
Update (July 1): Looks like we have some Lucky Sevens!*
Mean, Median, and Mode for the first 17 entries? Seven hours of sleep.
There's a 3.5-hour difference in start times.**
Interestingly, there seems to be a correlation between hours slept and arrival at work - longer sleepers show up later in the morning.***
*Sleep value (hours) taken at the lowest part of specified range.
**Morning start time pegged to center of specified times.
***Start time prior to 7AM: 5.75 hours; Start time after 9:00AM: 8 hours

Scientists: Does sleep help you, or hold you back?
I've read many recent articles claiming that "successful" writers, leaders, and inventors sleep less than the rest of us. I recently switched jobs, and that change - along with some biometric monitoring over the last month - has finally answered nagging questions about my sleep habits. But before I spill the beans, I'd like to pose three questions to you, dear readers:
1. How much do you sleep each night?
2. What time do you start work?
3. Are you productive?
Leave the answers in the comments.
Please be as accurate and honest as you can.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
