I couldnt read a better describing article Wil Schroter wrote about the life of a startup founder. I know his taking it a bit too far and maybe over doing it. but i think his dead on the point of being a startup founder. Its not a human behavior to be a startup founder. its a different life form. One that enjoys eating lunch at 7pm after finishing some task goal. or opening his macbook while sitting next to his spouse watching t.v together. Or thinking about function querysql() { in the 10 short seconds before you fall asleep in bed at 1am.

Here is a snippet of the article and a link to the original:

I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead

This self-instigated sleep deprivation can end right now. I can get off this hamster wheel and leave it all behind me. I can go back to getting nine hours of sleep, relaxing on the weekends, and playing it safe.

But that’s not what I’m built to do. I’m a startup Founder, and I don’t sleep, I build. If I stop now, there will be someone else to replace me – maybe you. So I’ll be staying up now and sleeping when I’m dead.

As for you? Sleep tight.
