Does it sound reasonable for me to sleep until I'm no longer tired. 11am. Then do 4 hours of focused work?

I notice when I wake up early. And try to work all day. I get easily distracted. And often find myself dozing off.

I'm currently working on a book, so I'm home 24/7. What are your thoughts on the minimal hours a entrepreneur should be working daily? And is it ok to sleep basically all day and work the rest of your time?
