"I don't sleep very much,"
"I do try and get six [hours], but I have unusual sleeping habits I sort of manage during the day. [I] try and pack my day in the office with as many meetings as possible, back-to-back, almost no time, no break between."
"I get home, spend a little bit of time with family, have dinner, and 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 more creative work and research work. And it's worked out,"
"I come alive at about 1 a.m."
Demis Hassabis structures his days into two work shifts: a daytime shift filled with back-to-back meetings and a nighttime creative shift from about 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. He aims for roughly six hours of sleep overall and manages unusual sleeping habits by packing work into concentrated blocks. Hassabis oversees Google's AI ventures including Gemini and leads a startup, Isomorphic, focused on disease and AI. He sold DeepMind to Google in 2014 and later won a Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2024. He spends brief evening time with family before resuming research and creative work late at night.
