Interesting that corporate America typically likes to have cookie cutter schedules that often intrude into our mornings. However, Jeff Bezos, arguably one of the more successful business people in the world doesn’t schedule early morning meetings, sleeps 8 hours a night and wakes up naturally without an alarm clock.

Well, it certainly can be argued that you are a more successful business person if you're not getting ripped off by your negotiation counterparts as you fight your wish to sleep.

There's a reason I don't do the "fly to X in the morning, have meeting, fly back" racket. I always have either a night train or a sleepover in a hotel, when I have to travel for workshops or hands-on work - making me get up at 4 o'clock in the morning means my employer loses at minimum half a day of productivity or more plus either night trains or hotel are cheaper than the productivity loss.
