It seems unlikely. And proof of this claim is difficult to verify, even though it is frequently quoted in books and online. There is some skepticism about it, however. Albert Einstein evidently said in several interviews that he felt best when he slept between ten and eleven hours; some newspapers said he claimed to need nine hours. But whatever number he gave, we have no way of knowing whether he was serious (English was his second language, and some of the quotes we have come from translation; jokes often do not translate well); and he also may have meant that he slept a certain number of hours a night and then took several short naps during the day. Given the number of versions of the claim (9, 10, 11 hours?), I would doubt that Einstein actually slept that long, although there is some evidence he needed more rest than some people like Edison, who got by on only five hours a night.

Does the earth rotate once every 24 hours?
Yes, it rotates once a day and at present the length of a day is 24 hours. Note however that in the Devonian (400 million years ago) the length of a day was 21.6 hours and when the word first formed (4.3 billion years ago)the length of a day was just 5 hours. This change in the length of a day is caused by the tidal interaction between the Earth and the Moon. The Moon is slowing the speed of the Earth's spin and is in turn being forced away from the Earth. In the future a day on the Earth will therefore be more than 24 hours. At a rate of 2.4 hours per 400 million years, the day is becoming longer by 1 second in every 46,000 years.
