      Here is Obama’s stated daily schedule in his first year as president. Take it with a grain of salt since it is a self report, but it’s probably not miles away from the truth.

      Quick Summary:

      • Routinely only got 5-7 hours of sleep
      • Woke up 7 am and would straight away exercise for 45 minutes
      • Into the office between 8:30-9:00 am
      • Work until 6:30 pm
      • Dinner and family time until 8:30 pm
      • Review briefings and do paperwork until 11:30 pm
      • Read in bed for 30 min before going to be at 12:30 am

      Maybe Obama is just built differently, I know some people have genetic differences that mean they need less sleep, but that’s a hell of a schedule for your baseline everyday schedule. I wouldn’t be surprised in the slightest if the White House had a doctor that prescribed/administered some sort of stimulant.

      Welll obama cared enough to burn the candle on both ends. I think if he had not been president he would have kicked cigarettes sooner but you could likely say that about politics in general. I can say a much larger percentage of PhD students seemed to smoke compared to the general populace.
