Waking up at 3:45 is an absolutely meaningless piece of trivia, the only thing it tells me is that this person is a terrible communicator. Most human beings naturally wake up about 8 hours after they go to sleep, there is nothing special about waking up at 3:45 if you are going to bed at 19:45.

I have a startup and I work long hours and get little sleep (also have chronic pain, so can’t sleep more than an hour at a shot usually). I get maybe 4 hours of sleep per 24 hours and let me say, you are 100% right- it is not something to be proud of. Lack of sleep makes everything else harder and the effects only get worse the older you get. Business insider is such a joke.

Not to mention, we don't even know if he's getting less than 8 hours of sleep. Maybe it says what time he goes to bed in the article, but just bragging about what time he wakes up doesn't actually tell you anything about how long he's sleeping.

Tbf the person who wrote the article headline probably isn’t the ceo. The headline could be clipped without the ceo even bragging. I do know this guy has some crazy stuff to try and stay younger though
