Excerpts

On Afternoon Naps

As most people know, I am a huge fan of afternoon naps.

In fact, my wife jokes that the main reason I quit my corporate career to become a full time investor, was so that I could sleep in the afternoon.

As such,I was delighted to know that I am just following the foot steps of the Greats:

Mohnish Pabrai: Usually, I take an afternoon nap on most days. It is highly recommended. The funny thing is I was visiting Warren Buffett a few years back and Guy Spier, my friend who was with me, said: Warren, Mohnish has a nap room and he asked Warren, do you have a nap room? I was surprised Warren said yes. It just works from a productivity point of view.
