Late to Bed, Early to Rise? Think Again!
Early risers might get the worm, but they would do well to get to bed early, too, or they might start missing that worm.
If you're among the millions who get up before dawn or worse, and arrive at work before dawn because your shift starts between 3:00 a.m. and 4:30 a.m., then chances are you don't get to bed early enough to make up the difference in sleep time. More than one in ten people occasionally wake up before sunrise to go to work. About two percent of people do it all the time. What time are these people going to bed?

Those who report to work extremely early are sleeping less than five hours per night. read more
p.s. Timothy Ferriss, author of the The 4-Hour Workweek
, also talks about hacking your sleep on his blog. His advice, which I fully endorse, is to keep your naps down to 20 minute increments, or right at about 90 minutes [to catch a full REM cycle in an 'infradian' rhythm].
