The no sleep is tough for me. Historically, I've required about eight solid hours. Lately, I've found that with a morning exercise routine I can cut about two hours out of my night's sleep and still function fine. Anything less than six hours and I start to require a power nap during the day.
Balancing startup and school - with a Jolt

#12I'm a high schooler, taking 7 AP courses and 2 other courses with no lunch period (I have to eat during some classes). After school, I run 10 miles cause I'm on the distance running team. I get home, shower, dinner, and between 8pm and 7am, I have 12 hours to do a combination of sleep/homework/programming. So from my experience (as someone who averages 3-4 hours a night), NO CAFFEINE. Caffeine ends up destroying you…
A stellar case of youth not being wasted on the young.

#13This advice would be more convincing if it was from the google founders. "We never slept because we were simultaneously going to stanford and making google. Our success is due to coffee." Instead it is always from someone working on something lame and going to some random 2nd rate school. Most people who are good at what they are doing have time to sleep.
Wow lots of unwarranted assumptions and generalizations here.
Not gotten enough sleep? :D
