I thought that was an interesting comment about Bush, who insisted on getting 8 hours sleep at night.

I can dig it, I've always been like that myself. While others seem to get by on 5 or 6 I gotta have my eight. When I was working full time, 50-60 hour weeks were common, very tough to get that 8 hours. Sometimes I would just have to be rude to my co-workers and say, "Gotta go, see ya."

Another interesting comment by Obama. At night the thought's war and political decisions weigh heavy on him. That I would expect, but he added the weight of "history" as well. I'm still contemplating what that means but I think it is a profound insight to what a POTUS has to deal with.
