A lack of sleep and too many hours is the first thing that seems to be highlighted in a lot of startup stories. The second is a lack of good nutrition and the idea of subsisting on ramen. For example the most recent article[1] on the startup foundry has an image with the text "Ramen - Startup Flavor" and this is said about the founders diet: His diet primarily consists of Ramen Noodles and whatever fruit is on sale My first thought wasn't "Wow this guy is really committed to his idea and company." it was instead "I hope that's an embellishment and this guy is taking better care of himself than that." Failing to take care of yourself by eating poorly and getting insufficient sleep just compounds your problems.
