Mahathir talked about the many benefits of sleep. He said: "When traveling, people asked me why I could start work as soon as I arrived, and I told them that I was sleeping on the plane. In fact, because no one bothers me, I can sleep longer on the plane than on the ground. In the flight of 12 hours, I can sleep at least 10 hours. "

Cuban leader Castro likes basketball and fishing.

Fidel Castro is currently the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the President of the Cuban State Council and the President of the Council of Ministers. Since Batista's regime was overthrown in 1959 and the first socialist country in Latin America was established, he has been in power for more than 40 years and is one of the most influential leaders in world politics.

Castro is in excellent health, unlike an old man in his 70s. He once told foreign media reporters in Havana: "My body is as good as an athlete, and my pulse beats 60 times a minute."

Castro loves basketball. His shooting skills are superb and he likes to show off to others very much. Even after becoming the supreme leader of Cuba, he never missed any opportunity. Sometimes he plays basketball with the children he meets in the street excitedly, which makes the security personnel embarrassed and nervous, but he laughs like a child.

Castro is a fishing fan. His record is that he caught180kg fish in less than four hours. He often wears an oxygen mask to practice diving. For him, diving to the bottom of the sea at a depth of 18 meters is even more obvious.
