[New York Times, 12/14/15] 2004: TRUMP SAID HE ONLY SLEEPS “VERY LITTLE” – 3 TO 4 HOURS A NIGHT Trump Said He Slept 3 To 4 Hours A Night. TRUMP: “Well, I'm lucky. And I guess I got this from my parents. But I sleep very little, 3 or 4 hours a night. And that's what I need. And I have friends that need 12 hours' sleep. I say, 12 hours? What are you going to do? So how does somebody that's sleeping 12 and 14 hours a day compete with somebody that's sleeping 3 or 4 ? It doesn't work that way. So if you can -- now, part of sleeping not so much is enjoying your life. If you don't enjoy your life, I know other people when they're doing well and things are good, they sleep 5 hours. When things aren't going so well they're in bed all week long. But the fact is that sleep as little -- you're going to be sleeping for a long time someday.” [Larry King Live, CNN, 11/24/04] Confidential Page 215
