A look inside the daily routine of Apple CEO Tim Cook, who oversaw the release of the $999 iPhone X
It's reported that Cook likes to catch seven hours of shut eye a night, meaning that he has to turn in by 8:45 p.m. to get enough rest before his early wake-up.
It is known that he enjoys spending time outdoors, often hiking and riding his bicycle in his free time.

When it comes to what he does outside of the office, the "intensely private" Cook prefers to keep things quiet, according to Fortune.

In addition to being at work early, Cook has previously said he's one of the last ones to leave the office, too.

That doesn't stop Cook from occasionally grabbing lunch with random Apple workers in the company's cafeteria, though.

Cook also has a reputation as a demanding boss. Business Insider reported that the CEO is known for his "no-mercy" style, which includes hosting marathon meetings, questioning everything, and emailing employees "at all hours."

It's not clear whether or not Cook enjoys a regular breakfast, but he dug into scrambled egg whites, sugar-free cereal, and unsweetened almond milk during a sit down with New York Times reporter Andrew Ross Sorkin. He also ate bacon, but prefers turkey bacon, apparently.

Next, Cook hits the gym around 5 a.m. The CEO doesn't work out on Apple's campus, however. He prefers the privacy of an outside gym.

Once he's up, he gets to work reading through some of the 700 to 800 emails he gets every day. He once told ABC that he's "a bit of a workaholic" who reads "the majority of those" messages.
