Webmasters, pay attention. In april of 2004, after a good almost year of sleeping 3-4 hours a night, then "catching up" on sundays with 7-8 hours, I developed pnuemonia and plueresy. The doc about fainted when I told him about my lifestyle, and he said in no uncertain terms: Your business is not worth it. Sleep or die young.

Having pnuemonia was one of the most shitty things ever. Combined with Pluresy, I was winded from walking to my mailbox. Literally. Just getting into my car and driving somewhere seemed like running a marathon to me. I made it through though. I tried really hard to avoid "bedrest" but I hardly had the energy to check my email most of the time.

I definitely try to sleep at least 6 hours a night, and trimmed a little from my social life and webmastering. It's working out well.
