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.

ALTERNATIVE ANSWER: Say: You sleep 8 Hours per day = 1/3 You work 8 Hours per day = 1/3 You use remaining 8 Hours per day --- Self, Family, Friends, Waste Time, Etc. = 1/3 If you are 30 years old now --- it means you are "sleeping" 10 years in your life... __________________________________________________________________ Excessive sleeping could be a sign of depression.
