Wow, that's someone who loves to work! I have often wondered about how much I could accomplish if I only had to sleep a couple of hours a night. I would definitely get an enormous amount done...right up to the point I keeled over at an earlier-than-I-should-have age?!!

Martha Stewart once reported that she slept only four hours a night!  Some people are just wired that way.  

Workaholics don't necessarily enjoy work more. They just don't know any other way.
