Facebook founder sleeps too much

In a Wall Street Journal story on that quirky lil' Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg lets it drop that he often gets a full night's sleep.

During one series of talks with Microsoft, Facebook executives told their Microsoft peers they couldn't do an 8 a.m. conference call because the company's 22-year-old founder and chief executive, Harvard dropout Mark Zuckerberg, wouldn't be awake, says a person familiar with the talks. Microsoft executives were incredulous.

In an interview, Mr. Zuckerberg declines to comment on any talks. The young entrepreneur says he generally works late -- he recalls eating French fries recently in the parking lot of a local McDonald's restaurant at 3 a.m. -- and doesn't get to work early. "I'm in the office at 10:30 a.m. sometimes," he says.

fair dues to him, I think he's got it right! Working late is good as its quiet and a great time for Eureka moments. We should all follow his example!
