"In a video interview with Fortune released on Wednesday, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis said he sleeps very little and splits his waking hours into two working days. "I do try and get six, but I have unusual sleeping habits," he said, about his number of hours of sleep. "I sort of manage during the day." He said that any less sleep than that would be bad for the brain."
"Hassabis said that he tries to pack his day in the office with as many meetings as possible with "almost no time" in between. He then gets home, spends time with family, and has dinner. "Then I sort of start a second day of work about 10 p.m. and go to 4 a.m., where I do my thinking and kind of more creative work and research work," he said. The CEO added that he's followed this schedule for about a decade."
Demis Hassabis sleeps roughly six hours per night and divides his waking time into two work periods. He packs office days with back-to-back meetings, then returns home for family time and dinner. He begins a second work period around 10 p.m., working until about 4 a.m. for creative thinking and research. Hassabis has followed this schedule for about a decade. Hassabis cofounded DeepMind in 2010; Google acquired the company in 2014 and it merged with Google Brain in 2023 to form Google DeepMind. Hassabis and John Jumper received the 2024 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for protein structure prediction.
