i don't understand. what's the point of going to all the trouble required to wake up at 3 am, only to then waste your time by being tired and/or depressed?

why do you assume that someone who has the intelligence, self control and dedication required to identify that waking up at 3 am is a requirement for success, makes a plan to make sure that he can deliver on that requirement and then follows through - would then fail so terribly on other fronts?

Someone who identifies that waking up at 3 AM is a requirement for success is likely a fool and not smart. Skipping on sleep is the worst thing that you can do for mental performance.
