" We used to hear a lot about Edison's great endurance, about how he slept only five hours out of the twenty-four. We explained that by saying Edison was a genius. He was ; but the way he slept had more to do with making him a genius than his genius had to do with the way he slept. He correctly attributed his great endurance to his habit of "sleeping when he wanted to." He could not afford to get tired. He lay down and slept, on floor or desk or couch, as soon as he felt the need of sleep. He slept more often, but he slept fewer hours and did more work. Anybody can do the same. On rush jobs Edison kept his entire crew going day and night for weeks in that manner, with beds in the office and food sent in. "
