That claim always bugs me. Self-proclaimed geniuses always trot it out as a badge of honour or evidence of some superpower of productivity. It’s never true. Nobody can function on that little sleep. Even if it was, they should not be proud to be such a workaholic that they would use all those precious waking hours for digging Twitter into an ever deeper hole. If you somehow have 5x as many waking hours as the rest of us, why aren’t you spending it with your family or doing charity work or something?
If it is true, maybe that’s his problem. He needs some goddam sleep to think clearly.
